A career is truly known as one looks over it and understands the themes, connections, and efforts throughout one’s work history. The career journey rarely is a straight path from education to retirement. Often it contains winding roads, detours, roadblocks, navigational mishaps, blind spots, hazards, as well as unexpected stops. During one’s career journey circumstances may contribute to increase stress, anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck or lost, possibly searching for meaning or something “better”; it can be challenging.
