S8 Ep7: When You’re ‘Too Good’ at Your Current Role: How to Get Unstuck

Welcome back to Your Path to Career Success — the podcast that helps you build the skills, confidence, and strategies to thrive in your career.

In this 11-minute episode, I explore a surprising challenge many high performers face: feeling “too good” at your current role. It sounds like a dream, right? But mastering your job without new challenges can lead to boredom, stagnation and uncertainty about how to progress.

🔍 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• What it really means to be “too good” at your job — and how it can quietly stall your career
• The early signs that you’ve outgrown your current role and how to spot them before burnout hits
• Practical strategies to reignite growth and take control of your career path — no permission required
• How to leverage your strengths, seek feedback, and build a network that supports your next move
• Mindset tips to embrace discomfort and grow with confidence

I share stories, real examples, quotes, and actionable tips that will help you get unstuck, redefine your role, and move forward with clarity and purpose.

If you’re feeling boxed in by comfort or unsure how to push for what’s next, this episode is for you.
