Feeling Capped at Work? Here’s How I Broke the Ceiling Without Quitting My Career
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night thinking… there has to be more to life than this?
That was me.
On paper, everything looked great. I loved my career, the income was solid, the environment was supportive, and I had amazing co-workers. But at the same time, I felt capped.
Every two weeks that paycheck rolled in, and outside of my once-a-year bonus, there was no more. No extra. No room to expand. I was grateful but not satisfied.
I started asking myself what else I had to offer. What strengths and talents was I overlooking?
And then it hit me. I have skills. I have strengths. I’ve been leading, mentoring, and solving problems my entire career. People come to me for advice, for clarity, for strategy. Why couldn’t I package that into something beyond my 9 to 5?
The Pain Point We Don’t Talk About Enough
So many career women feel this same tension. You’re good at what you do, but you know deep down there’s more in you. The cap might not just be financial. It could be about creativity, impact, and freedom.
You’re not alone in feeling that way. And it doesn’t mean you need to quit your job tomorrow…or ever!
What Shifted Things for Me
Here’s what finally helped me break through:
I stopped looking at my job as my only source of income. That one shift opened up a world of possibility.
I took inventory of what I already knew. I didn’t need to reinvent myself. I had valuable skills right in front of me.
I created a coaching offer around what people were already asking me for. It was simpler than I thought. It started with helping just one person.
The Inspiring Close
That’s how I went from feeling capped in my career to building a framework that allowed me to thrive in both my engineering job and my coaching business. I didn’t quit. I designed my own ceiling and floor.
