Taking Control of Your Career When It’s Harming Your Mental Health

Having a job you dislike can have a more detrimental impact on your mental health than being unemployed (Seriously! This is backed by research). Aaron began to realize this truth as he found himself contemplating some pretty dark things if it just meant he didn’t have to go in to work. He had never identified with his career in construction management and felt extremely unfulfilled, but seeing as he worked for the family business… he felt completely trapped. Listen to Aaron share the chain of events that gave him the confidence to step away from the family business and go after his lifelong dream of being a lawyer.
