The past few months I’ve lost ambition and motivation in my career. Have worked hard to climb my way up the corporate ladder and now report to the CEO but I feel unmotivated and have no interest in looking for a new job and working in a corporate position altogether.

What things are you interested in outside of work? Is there an industry you can apply your skills in that align with those interests?
If you can take PTO or live off saving briefly it might be a great opportunity to reflect and plan a new chapter.

Also want to add I’m sorry you’re in this rut! If you can focus on the things that bring you joy outside of work it might help the day to day corporate grind feel easier to deal with for now.

Last night I told my husband that I was thinking about getting my hair cut shorter - not short, but shorter - and wanted his opinion. He said “it’s your hair so it’s up to you.” While I appreciate his “your body, your choice” stance in theory, in practical terms, I wanted some actual thoughts by the person who sees my face every day on whether I should change my hair. Does he a) not want me to cut hair, b) want it to stay long but won’t say it, or c) not really care?
