I hate my job! Now what?

by Sarah Decker

You did everything you were supposed to do. The grades, the degree, the title, the raise. And you still pull into the parking lot some mornings with a knot in your stomach. I Hate My Job! Now What? is the podcast for high-achieving women who did everything right and still feel like something's off. Every episode, I get honest about what's going on, help you name what you actually want, then figure out how to go build it. A bold pivot, a role that doesn't exist yet, or a business of your own. I'm Sarah Decker. I blew up the script to build work I love, and now I help other women do the same.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Sarah’s podcast is the best for anyone who is questioning their job, career choice, or even just next steps within their field. She has such a thoughtful way of posing questions, prompting reflection, and helping each listener feel seen and supportive, and her story prompts genuine reflection from anyone who listens in. It really feels like you are in a one-on-one meeting with her, especially through the prompts at the end that leave you analyzing and contemplating your own next move. Her genuine, engaged, and refreshing style provide such reassurance and support no matter how you are feeling about your job and career in the moment. I can’t wait for the next episode!

crimsonbecca · Dec 2025

As someone who transitioned careers to a new industry without support from someone like Sarah, I know how helpful her advice and strategies would have been seven years ago. This podcast is a must listen for people thinking about changing careers, or even just pursuing advancement in your own organization, which I did this past month inspired by her words. I highly recommend listening weekly and contacting Sarah for one-on-one support.
