You’re not actually stuck (so stop acting like it)


Your people are over hearing you complain about your job.

They’re breaking out the world’s smallest violin and speed-dialing the wambulance. Heck, you’re probably sick of your own complaining by now.

Look, I get it. Maybe you’re juggling a garbage-fire project, reporting to a boss who’s a walking red flag, and getting underpaid for the privilege—all while white-knuckling it through late-stage capitalism. Or maybe you’re fending off a persistent whisper saying, “This can’t be it, right?”

And you’re barely keeping up with your current job, so how could you possibly carve out the time and energy to figure out what’s next? And in this job market?!

I see you. Your feelings are valid. But here’s the real talk:

What are you going to do about it?

Because the status quo isn’t just draining you—it’s draining everyone who has to hear about it. (We still love you, but come on.)

You’ve got two choices:

  1. Make your current situation work
  2. Do something different

I created Stuck to Sparked to help you choose, and take action.

On January 30th, join this intimate career exploration workshop. You’ll get clarity on what needs to change in your career—and the life it supports—so you can confidently design your next chapter.

If you’re content wallowing and annoying your friends, skip it. But if you’re ready to embrace that nagging discomfort as a sign to change, this is your moment.

Don’t believe change is possible?

Let me leave you with this dynamite quote from French novelist Anaïs Nin:

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

“Weird times.” That’s what my CTO friend and I kept saying on one of our classic LA rollerblade catch-ups this weekend. We were talking about AI. That thing that went from niche buzzword to novelty toy to personal assistant to existential threat in just a decade. Yes, we’re living in weird times. But I’m not worried. Not because my head’s buried in analog sand. Because I’m curiously plugged into how this is unfolding and calmly, creatively iterating on how I work and deliver value to my...

Hey! Grace Fabian here (formerly Vigeant or Epstein depending on when we met). Same career coach, same obsession with your professional fulfillment. Just a zhuzhed-up sender line. I caught up with a career coaching client recently. She landed a perfect-fit leadership role during our work together and is now renegotiating comp and title (cuz she’s been kicking even more ass than they hired her for). Like most of my clients, she’s a seasoned pro. Not her first rodeo. She’s been the job seeker...

On Monday, I looked at my calendar and blurted out, “Ugh, I’m obsessed with this week!” Far cry from my stress-filled Subway commutes, back when I was a walking bag of cortisol. I coach people to design careers they love. I shouldn’t be in business if I don’t have a career that I love—and continually iterate as I grow and the world shifts.
