I believe that we do have a relationship with work. And that when people are dissatisfied, it’s often because they have a story about work that colors that relationship, and the story isn’t serving them or fostering a healthy relationship

So many people hate their jobs or are thinking about leaving work. They blame it on the leadership, their boss, their colleagues, or the economy. On this week’s episode, my guest Ann Zimmerman explores how their overall relationship with work may be the problem, not the job itself, and shares steps on how to Create a Healthy Relationship with work.

Ann is a certified professional coach based in the US. She specializes in partnering with people who feel exhausted and overwhelmed from constantly questioning if they are in the right job or career. She serves as a thought partner and guide to help them discover and choose work that is meaningful to them and aligned with who they are, so they can be fully present in life.

In this episode we discuss:

  • The telltale signs of people complaining or resenting their jobs

  • Why use the word ”work”

  • The limiting beliefs and narratives that are not serving them

  • The common survival behaviors when they are stuck

  • The core elements they integrate to transform their relationship with work

  • What defines a healthy relationship with work

  • Action Steps and questions to help individuals reset their relationship with work

When we’re in a healthy relationship with work, it’s built on self-knowledge. knowing our core beliefs, understanding what helps us thrive at work and what drains us. Knowing our strengths, what we enjoy, being aware of beliefs that support us, and beliefs that limit us
