Episode 6

Career Choices

Remember the Great Resignation of 2021? It was that period of time post-pandemic when people decided to quit their jobs in droves and find more meaning and purpose in their lives. It was quite the story of our times…as if we needed another big, life-changing story following COVID, right?! But it was another big story - CNBC estimated that 43 million people left their jobs that year. It wasn’t just a wave of discontent, it was a tsunami.

There have been several theories floated as to why the Great Resignation happened, and many of them point to toxic workplace cultures. Others pointed to a general awakening that people experienced during the lockdowns. When you don’t have the option to go out anywhere and fill your life with distraction, it leaves you just one option. So, self-reflection became the common theme of 2020 and 2021.

Each guest in this Choice Wisdom episode made a career pivot into a completely different line of work to follow their passion. Not all of them did this because of the Great Resignation - but their stories are nevertheless inspirational because they point to a soul-deep desire to change the world. And who doesn’t want to do that?
