Feeling Stuck in Your Career? Screw the Job Market Might Be Exactly What You Need

After nearly a decade of coaching professionals through major career transitions, one truth has stood out above all the rest: most people aren’t stuck because they lack experience, motivation, or talent. They’re stuck because they’ve been taught to ask the wrong question.

They ask, “What job should I get?”
But the more powerful question is, “What kind of life do I want to build—and what kind of work supports that?”

This insight is what inspired me to write my new book, Screw the Job Market: Reinvent Your Career From the Inside Out. It’s not a résumé guide. It’s not a traditional job search manual. It’s a mindset reset. A step-by-step framework for creating a purpose-driven career on your own terms.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, uninspired, or simply stuck in a role that no longer fits, this book is for you.

This Book is a Cheerleader in Your Back Pocket

Screw the Job Market is designed to support anyone who feels like they’re meant for more but aren’t sure how to get there. If you’ve ever looked at your career and thought, “It’s fine, but it’s not fulfilling,” you’re not alone.

Over the years, I’ve heard so many versions of the same concerns:

• I’ve been in this industry too long to switch now

• I know I want something different, but I don’t know what

• My job looks good on paper, but I’m exhausted and unfulfilled

• I’m multi-passionate, and I can’t pick just one path

• I keep applying, but nothing is working

This book is your companion through that uncertainty. It walks you through how to reconnect with yourself, build clarity step by step, and stop waiting for external permission to make a change.

Real Stories from Real People

Take Kristin, a reality TV producer who came to me overwhelmed, burned out, and unsure of how to pivot into something more meaningful. She had always loved hosting, but the industry had taken a toll on her energy and confidence. Through the process outlined in the book, Kristin began reconnecting to what truly lit her up.

She found a new producer role that respected her time and values and gave her the stability she had been craving. Not long after, she landed a hosting job on Amazon TV, bringing her full-circle to the creative spark she had set aside years ago. Her story is just one example of what happens when we stop trying to fit into someone else’s definition of success and start building a career that reflects who we really are.

What You’ll Learn Inside Screw the Job Market

Inside the book, you’ll get a clear roadmap for:

• Identifying what actually matters to you now

• Clarifying your strengths and values and how to talk about them

• Reframing your story to make meaningful pivots without starting over

• Building confidence to network and interview with purpose

• Creating aligned opportunities through connection rather than cold applications

• Letting go of outdated career beliefs that no longer serve you

You’ll also find coaching prompts, journaling exercises, and mindset tools that you can revisit any time your path feels murky.

The Most Common Mistakes I See

After working with hundreds of clients, I’ve seen a few themes come up over and over. These are the beliefs and habits that keep people stuck for far too long:

• Staying in a role that looks good on paper but feels wrong in your gut

• Waiting for clarity to arrive instead of creating it through action

• Believing a new degree or certification is the only way out

• Relying solely on job boards and hoping for the best

• Thinking you have to start over instead of pivoting strategically

This book helps you break out of those loops and replace them with an approach rooted in intention, self-awareness, and practical next steps.

Why I Wrote This Book

I wrote Screw the Job Market because too many brilliant, creative, mission-driven people are shrinking to fit into roles that no longer reflect who they’ve become. They feel the urge to grow, but don’t know how to begin.

This book captures the best of what I’ve seen work over nearly ten years of coaching: mindset shifts that stick, practical strategies that open doors, and stories that remind you you’re not alone.

It is not about hustling harder or making a quick fix. It is about going inward, getting clear, and taking aligned action so that your work supports your life, not the other way around.
