How to Find the Best Job for You that Actually Exists

Stop chasing the perfect job that doesn’t exist. Lauren McGoodwin reveals why seemingly glamorous careers often lead to burnout—and offers a refreshing alternative that brings real satisfaction.

As founder of Career Contessa, host of the Career Contessa podcast, and author of Power Moves, Lauren has guided thousands of professionals toward meaningful work lives that don’t require sacrificing everything else.

Lauren introduces the concept of the “good-enough job” that prioritizes practicality over perfection. She shares the three key drivers of job happiness and helps you identify what truly matters in your current life stage. Learn why “boring” jobs can be ideal, how being “indispensable” might actually limit your growth, and why letting go of rigid expectations opens unexpected doors to opportunity.
