So, You HATE Your Job, Now What?! is a practical, compassionate guide for anyone who feels trapped in a role, career, or work culture that no longer fits, but has no idea what to do next.

Drawing on more than 20 years in corporate leadership and recruiting, plus a lifetime of lived experience with trauma, loss, and full‑scale reinvention, Lorel Stevens walks you through a holistic process for answering the questions:

~ “Is it really my job I hate, or is it something deeper?”
~ “Do I need to quit… or can I change my experience where I am?”
~ “How do I make a change without blowing up my life or my finances?”

This is not a fluffy “follow your passion” book and it’s not a cold, clinical career manual. It’s a real‑talk, holistic guide that looks at your work life through the lens of your whole life: your health, relationships, nervous system, money, identity, and sense of purpose.

Inside, you’ll discover how to:

~ Get honest about what’s actually burning you out (hint: it’s not always the job title)
~ Understand how fear, survival patterns, and old stories are shaping your choices
~ Use Lorel’s 12 Life Areas framework to see where you’re truly out of alignment
~ Decide whether to stay and renegotiate, shift roles, or plan an exit
~ Create a grounded, realistic transition plan that honors both your soul and your bills
~ Start rebuilding your confidence, energy, and self‑trust, no matter what you choose next

You’ll also find reflection questions, journaling prompts, and practical exercises you can return to any time your work life starts to feel “off” again
.
If you’ve ever thought:

~ “I can’t keep doing this, but I don’t know what else to do.”
~ “I’ve worked too hard to walk away now.”
~ “What if I make the wrong move and regret it?”

…this book will help you slow down, tell yourself the truth, and create a path forward that actually fits who you are now.

So, You HATE Your Job, Now What?! is for mid‑career professionals, burned‑out high achievers, and quietly miserable over‑functioners who are ready to stop white‑knuckling their way through work, and start building a life and career that feel aligned, sustainable, and alive.
