Tired of the job search? Read this.

Hi friend,

If you’re feeling exhausted by the job hunt, you’re not alone.

Scrolling through endless listings, applying to roles that ghost you, wondering if you’re the problem — that kind of mental wear wears anyone down. It’s not just about jobs. It’s about identity, hope, and trying to build a life that actually fits.

I’ve been thinking a lot about that lately.

I remember looking for a job four years ago—and it was a grind. Over six months, I applied to more than 300 jobs. The result? Maybe a handful of interviews. It was exhausting, lonely, and discouraging. I never want to go through that again—but I’m grateful I did. It taught me how broken the job search process can be.

If you're in that place right now, you don’t have to do it alone. Seriously—hit me up. I’ll help however I can. I also created a little corner of the internet to make job searching less miserable:

📚 What I’ve Been Reading: The Second Mountain by David Brooks

Brooks talks about how life has two mountains. The first is about achievement—status, salary, job titles. But eventually, many of us realize that we’re climbing the wrong one.

The second mountain is deeper. It’s about purpose, connection, and values. It’s about serving something bigger than yourself.

If you’re job searching right now, especially after burnout or a layoff, maybe this is your mountain shift. Not just a new job—but a new reason.

🎧 What I’ve Been Listening To: The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins

Mel Robbins says if someone doesn’t see your value, doesn’t promote you, or doesn’t hire you? Let them.

Don’t chase what’s not choosing you.

That mindset shift—letting go of places that don't get you—frees up your energy to find the ones that do. And those places exist. Your next job is not just a paycheck; it’s a place that sees you.
