Lately my portfolio just doesn’t feel like me anymore. It reflects the jobs I’ve had, not the work I actually want to do next. Every time I start updating it, I end up questioning my whole career instead. I know the book matters, but I’m stuck between polishing what I have and rebuilding from scratch. How did you decide when it was time for a full reset?

Maybe start small by making two new pieces that represent you better. And then go from there.

^ This. Start small and make the work you want to do. Over time you can start to replace the work you’re less excited about with the work you want to do. That may be a healthier approach vs. starting over from scratch and burning yourself out.
