What If Your Job Is Draining You Because It’s the Wrong Fit?

August 17, 2025 • Remi Roy • Season 3 • Episode 21

What happens when you’re great at your job but miserable in it?

In this episode, I read an excerpt from Stand Out 2.0 by Marcus Buckingham and share the story of Michael, a capable, kind professional who got promoted out of alignment with his strengths, and ultimately burned out.

We explore:

Why knowing your strengths isn’t optional
The emotional toll of the “wrong fit”
What to do when your work no longer feels like “you”

This one’s for anyone who’s ever asked, “Why does this job drain me?”
