for years, you’ve tried to convince yourself work isn’t really that bad. that it’s not worth quitting.
but if it’s really not that bad…
why can’t you stop thinking about it?
stuck in a career rut
You’ve been in this industry, with this employer, and maybe even in the same role for years now.
Somehow, you’re bored and stressed beyond belief.
But the “good” news is that after so many years, you’re used to feeling like this. The days blur together, and it’s gotten easy to ignore it —
Except for those days your heart won’t stop racing or you can’t stop crying. That’s starting to happen way too often…
too burnt out to think about the future
You’re always on — literally. Always on Slack and email. Always up in the middle of the night, worrying about tomorrow.
It’s just work, sleep, eat, repeat. And weekends? You’re lucky if you get through all the chores and errands that piled up during the week, much less have any fun.
There’s never time to dream up a new career… one you probably can’t even have, right?
clueless about your "dream job"
You hear about people who quit their jobs to fulfill some lifelong dream. It sounds incredible — but you never had a lifelong dream. Where would you even start?
The possibilities feel too huge. When you think about it, you never seem to get anywhere; it’s too draining to think about.
So, since you can’t picture anything better, why make a change?
lacking real support
When you tell friends and family that you want to pivot careers, you get responses like:
“Everyone hates their job. Have you tried meditation?”
“Yeah, my job sucks too. But it pays the bills!”
“You really want to throw away all your hard work and start over?”
are you sick of just getting through the week — every single week?
At this point, Sundays are just a day to stress about Mondays. And Mondays? They’re a waking nightmare. Which is pretty rude, since you also have actual work nightmares!
Eventually, you make it through the week. You always do. But there’s got to be something better than just “getting through” over and over again — right?
It feels like you’ve tried everything:
- Slamming your laptop shut at 5pm sharp, in a half-hearted attempt at “boundaries”
- Talking to your therapist: it helps you process, but hasn’t fixed anything — and new stressors pop up daily
- Turning off notifications during your HIIT class, then feeling guilty and checking work as soon as you can
- Putting on a rejuvenating face mask, turning on the TV, and trying to forget you have a job
- Vowing not to check Slack that night (oops)
- Trying, but failing, to ignore that weekend email
- Starting happy hour a little early — it’s 3:00 somewhere, right?
- And maybe even switching employers or chasing promotions you don’t really want
But none of the self-care hacks, boundary-setting tips, or Friday-night vent sessions seem to help anymore. And a new job? Same shit, different building.
the truth is: no amount of self-care will fix a career you hate.
But hey — you haven’t done anything wrong! Just the opposite, actually. By trying to fix things, you’ve proved that you’re ready for a change.
Still, deep down, you probably know that putting more time and energy into self-care and random job applications is a waste of your time.
Because your issue isn’t just about optimizing self-care. It’s not just about setting boundaries. Not just that you dread getting up every morning, and not just your boss or nightmare client.
It’s a little bit of all of it.
And if this sounds like you, it could be time for a more substantial shift in your career.
imagine a week like this:
1. You don’t spend every Sunday dreading the week ahead. No Sunday Scaries = more restful weekends and more enjoyable workweeks.
2. You actually want to tackle your to-do list — not to get it over with, but to accomplish things that match your values and feel truly meaningful.
3. Your tasks balance your skills, natural talents, and budding interests, so you feel successful and your workdays stay fresh and exciting.
4. You finally have control of your calendar! You look forward to most meetings and events — and since there aren’t more than you can handle, your social battery never fades to 0%.
5. You deeply understand what you need from a career and how you want it to fit into your life, so you feel confident about where you are and where you’re going.
the first step toward this life? discovering the role that truly fits who you are.
only you can figure out what that role is.

i remember the 24/7 stress.
the always-on urgency.
the unrelenting sunday scaries.
but i left it all behind —
and i can help you do it, too
I’m Lucy Todd, a former corporate exec who was trapped in frustration and burnout for nearly a decade. Here’s my story:
After college, I landed an internship with a cool tech startup. Within weeks, the internship became a full-time role… and then, a leadership role.
Soon, the startup grew into a full-fledged agency. Everything was urgent. Work nightmares started. Overwhelm turned to burnout.
I swore I’d quit by age 30. But, overcome with guilt about the idea of leaving a “successful career,” and with no idea what I’d rather do, I stayed stuck.
Then 2020 hit. And in the chaos, I realized I couldn’t control everything — but I could change my soul-crushing career.
So I took a full day to focus on exploring my career and myself. That day revealed everything I needed from a career — and everything I wanted to leave behind.
Finally, I knew that a fulfilling career was possible for me, defined exactly what it looked like, and built a real plan to change my career!
Less than 2 months later, I put in my notice and never looked back.
Now, I’m a certified coach supporting clients like you to identify your ideal job, make a real plan, and start going after the career you actually want!

the 4-step career reset: FAQs
Is it normal to be freaked out about the idea of changing industries?
It’s absolutely normal! It can be daunting to think about changing the career you’ve built up over the years. Honestly, it’d be more unusual if you weren’t scared about that! It means this is important to you.
Try thinking of it this way: the amount of fear you feel might be a preview of the reward you could feel on the other side!
I’m a research-based person. In case you are too, here’s some stats from a Feb 2024 survey about this very thing:
- 1 in 2 people regret being in their chosen career
- 70% of millennials have career regrets — the most of any generation in the survey
- But most of the career regrets found in the survey revolved around inaction
- In fact, 44% say they regret NOT making a complete career change
In other words — yup, it’s normal to be worried, and it’s also normal to want a change!
Imagine it’s a year from now, and you’re still in your current role. How does it feel? What thoughts do you have? Are you still thinking about making a change?
Ultimately, we can’t 100% eliminate uncertainty or even fear — that’s not the goal of coaching! Instead, you’ll learn to examine and question those fears.
Through self-exploration (not generic advice), we can work on:
- Isolating what’s driving these fears for you
- Understanding the significance of each concern for you
- Learning what helps you feel more secure in decision-making
- Learning to challenge your fears in ways that work specifically for you
This way, you’ll have the support you need to keep moving forward toward what you want, instead of being held back by “what ifs.”
is it a mistake to leave the industry where i've built my career?
This makes total sense! When you’ve spent years in one place, it’s hard to imagine what it would be like to start something new.
This might help:
1. Your career achievements, experience, and skills don’t disappear when you change industries. You still did that! You still own those achievements, and they’ll benefit you in any new path you choose to take — even if it’s tough to see that right now. As your new career gets clearer, it’ll be easier to see how everything you’ve learned and achieved will apply to — and even help cement — that choice.
2. For some people, transferable skills are a good starting point to figure out their next career — but not for everyone. When you start out by seeking fulfillment and meaning, the transferable skills will fall into place. You’ll quickly see how what you know fits into what you love.
But when you start out trying to isolate your transferable skills, you risk sticking to what feels safest — and that could land you right here again, burnt out and unfulfilled, in years or even months.
3. The sunk cost fallacy is powerful! It’s the idea that because you’ve put so much time and energy into something, making a different choice would mean it was all a waste. This is driven by fear! Of course, there are real concrete things to be afraid of (like being able to provide for your family or save for retirement), so it’s normal and totally ok to feel this way.
But while there are real situational aspects at play, it might surprise you to know how much of this fear comes from within you — underlying beliefs you have about yourself, about your work, about careers, and about life changes.
These beliefs are formed over a lifetime of experiences, and that’s why it can be hard to tell the difference between a hard-and-fast fact and a belief or mindset! As we work through the specific fears holding you back from making a change, we can identify helpful reframing techniques to keep those fears at bay.
Think about this:
What are you most proud of in your current career?
When you think back over what’s made you proud in your career, what are you worried about leaving behind and/or not experiencing again in a new career?
Now picture yourself in a career that feels like a mistake. What’s happening in that scenario? What are you feeling? What specifically do you regret?
Sometimes, anticipating what we’re afraid of can help us plan to avoid that scenario. But we can never be 100% certain of an outcome — at a point, we have to balance our fear of uncertainty and our fear of inaction.
i'm stuck in active burnout. can you still help me?
Phew, I know what this is like, and I’m sorry you’re in the middle of it.
What I’ve found is that typical burnout advice — like asking for workplace accommodations, taking an emergency vacation, or dipping a toe into self-care— isn’t really helpful long-term. For me, it wasn’t even helpful short-term.
Now I realize that’s because none of this targets why you’re burnt out! A mismatch in values. A lack of fulfillment. Job requirements that don’t fit your personality, interests, energy, or other unique aspects of you.
While I can’t give medical advice, I found this article by clinical psychologists really helpful, especially one diagram about halfway down: “What keeps burnout going?”
It shows how job dissatisfaction, low confidence, and long hours work together to keep restoking burnout time after time.
So, even though it will be a struggle to muster the time and energy to piece everything together, having a clear vision of your future and a realistic action plan to get there is a majorly effective way to combat burnout for good. And having a coach by your side to remind you why you’re doing this could be exactly the support you need to keep moving.
i don't want to take a pay cut. can i still change careers?
No one wants to make less money (at least, I’ve never met anyone who does)! So, it’s good news that a career change doesn’t have to mean a pay cut!
Your priorities drive the career discovery process, and I’ll support you to explore and rank those priorities as part of The 4-Step Career Reset. So, if maintaining or increasing pay is essential for you, that means any careers that don’t fit your salary needs aren’t your ideal career — and we can cross them off the list.
Alternately, you might realize that compensation is less important to you than you first thought. A pay reduction, or even a planned break in employment, could be worth it to you for more immediate relief and fulfillment.
But only you will make that call!
We’ll weigh the importance of priorities against one another and pressure-test them so you can clearly see where salary fits in for you compared to other metrics.
I can’t make any guarantees or promises about salary. But, knowing that that’s a major factor for you helps shape our work together.
can you guarantee my dream job?
I can’t guarantee your dream job, a specific salary, or the perfect boss.
But I can guarantee that I’m in your corner, supporting you to identify exactly what you want (not what I want, or what anyone else wants) and to pursue your goals at your pace!
I also guarantee that we’ll keep working together until you’ve identified a fulfilling career and developed a realistic action plan to get there — even if that means it’s a 5-Step, 6-Step, or 8-Step Career Reset, instead of just 4 sessions!
And, I guarantee a full refund when you cancel up to 48 hours after our first session (Now vs. Ideal Career).
Between you and me, you’ll see a whole lot of folks guaranteeing a whole lot of things that they have no business guaranteeing. The old adage still stands: if it sounds too good to be true, it is.
what's your refund policy?
I’ve built in 3 key ways to prevent wasting your time or money:
1) This comprehensive page and FAQ section describes The 4-Step Career Reset, what’s included, and its expected outcomes in detail. So, it should give you a great idea of whether the program is a fit. Either way, there are more opportunities to decide…
2) Our free intro call. You won’t enter any payment info to sign up for this call, and you have absolutely no obligation to buy The 4-Step Career Reset just because we had an intro call together! I also learn more about you on the intro call, so if I don’t feel it’s a good fit for you, I’ll let you know upfront.
3) If for any reason, you decide The 4-Step Career Reset isn’t for you, I offer a full refund when you cancel up to 2 days AFTER your first full session. In return, I just want your feedback!
But I don’t offer any refunds if you cancel more than 48 hours after our first session. That’s when I start the behind-the-scenes work to create your customized VIP Day agenda and more — and everyone will get value out of that day.
my question isn't listed. how can I get in touch?
Just sign up for the free intro call! It’s really the best way to get your questions answered, and you’re never under any pressure to buy The 4-Step Career Reset — that choice is up to you.
You can change your career — but it’s your call.
You could stay trapped and miserable, exactly like this, for another 10 years —
Or, in about 8 weeks, you could have a clear picture of your ideal career,

and support as you take the first steps toward a future you actually want.
