Ready for a Bold Career Change? Let's Align Your Work with Your Lifestyle!

Have you ever felt like your career and the life you want are running on two different tracks? It’s more common than you might think, and the truth is, realignment isn’t just possible—it’s essential for long-term success and happiness.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur building your own path, a professional climbing the corporate ladder, or a mid-career employee looking for that next big step, bold decisions often must be made. But where do you even start?

Step One: Understand Your Lifestyle Needs

Before diving into any career change, let’s pause for a moment—what does your ideal lifestyle actually look like?

  • Do you crave flexibility, or are you energized by structure?
  • Do you want more time for hobbies, family, or just to breathe?
  • Are boundaries in place, or are you burning the candle at both ends?

It’s not just about what job you’re doing, but how it aligns with the life you envision. Knowing what works best for you is the foundation for any career decision.

Step Two: Set Healthy Boundaries

We talk about boundaries a lot, but why? Because they protect your time, energy, and emotional well-being. If your current role or business is pushing those boundaries, it might be time to ask yourself:

  • Do I feel drained because I’m over-committing?
  • Am I consistently working late hours when I don’t want to?
  • Is my current career or business aligned with my core values?

Clear boundaries allow you to say yes to the right opportunities and no to the things that no longer serve you.

Step Three: Define Your Perfect Job Fit

Once you’ve dialed in your lifestyle needs and boundaries, it’s time to determine what your ideal job fit looks like. Consider:

  • What industries or roles interest you the most?
  • Does the company culture align with your values?
  • Is this role flexible or structured enough for your lifestyle?

The right job or business should feel like an extension of your personality and aspirations, not just a paycheck.

The Gospel on the Ground: The Grit and Glory of the Early Church in Acts by Kristi McLelland. One of the things I continue to seek is what I put as my priority in life. For me, my main priority is focused on my eternal life rather than my time here on earth. It’s what gives me hope and joy for what is to come. Part of that journey is exploring the Bible in ancient ways through study and scripture, knowing the Bible was written for us and not to us by many eyewitnesses and authors. Understanding the times and why some of the stories are so impactful, helps me to learn how to apply it in my life thousands of years later, as in NOW.

Kristi McLeland has been instrumental in my journey with her teachings. This month I’m recommending her study on Gospel on the Ground. It comes with videos to watch and you’ll learn something profound. I promise. Check it out.
