Podcast: The Sock DrawerPublished On: Wed Feb 04 2026
Description: Most people don’t leave a job because they’re lazy or unmotivated. They leave because they’ve quietly outgrown a life that no longer fits.In this episode, I’m joined by Maggie Mistal—intuitive career and executive coach, former SiriusXM career talk show host, and author of Are You Ready to Love Your Job?—for one of those conversations that feels like both a deep exhale and a wake-up call.We talk about how to tell the difference between burnout and misalignment, why intuition isn’t “woo”—it’s a practical leadership tool—and how the career changes you’re scared to make don’t have to be reckless… they can be strategic, gradual, and still life-changing.If you’re in a season of uncertainty, this episode will meet you where you are—and give you a simple next step.In this episode, you’ll hear:Why career change often includes a very real “valley of despair”—and how to move through itThe truth about money and fear during reinvention (and how Maggie navigated a 35% pay cut in NYC)How intuition gets stronger the more you listenWhy your past was never wasted—it’s part of your credibilityThe Tiny Dare: a simple 7-day energy tracker that reveals your next right moveYou can find Maggie at maggiemistal.com and on LinkedIn + Instagram.
