Do you really need to sacrifice for your career? In this episode, Crystal tackles the crucial question many professionals face: what to do when your heart isn't fully invested in your career. Through personal insights and compelling examples, Crystal challenges the common belief that success requires sacrifice, particularly in corporate environments. She shares a heartbreaking story about a 42-year-old professional who passed away suddenly, using it to emphasize why we shouldn't postpone happiness or sacrifice today for an uncertain tomorrow.

Crystal provides a thoughtful framework for evaluating career satisfaction and making decisions that honor both professional ambitions and personal wellbeing. She emphasizes that while certain careers may have intense periods, continuous sacrifice isn't sustainable or necessary. Instead, she advocates for finding alignment between personal values and career choices, acknowledging that different life stages may require different approaches to work-life integration.
