Welcome to The Action Within, the podcast for quietly ambitious women stuck in the wrong work.
You spend a third of your life working, and even more thinking about it. When your work doesn’t feel right, it shapes how you see yourself and what you believe is available to you.
I’m Lindsay Perera, Career Alignment & Self-Trust Coach, here to help you understand the hidden patterns behind your career choices so you can let go of ways of working that don’t fit you, and move towards work that reflects who you are.
Each week, we explore adaptation, performance, and overfunctioning, and how they shape the work you stay in and the work you choose next.
You entered the working world with drive and capability. You’ve built a lot, achieved a lot, and proven yourself.
And yet, something has never fully fit.
You may feel stuck, unfulfilled, and know you are capable of more than this. Years of doing what was needed to succeed have shaped how you show up in your work.
Here, we slow things down.
We question the patterns. We explore what is driving your choices. We rebuild self-trust in how you respond, choose, and move forward.
This is not about rushing into a new role. It is about understanding yourself well enough to stop repeating the same experience in a different job.
If you’re ready to explore why change feels so hard and stop overriding what you already know, you’re in the right place.
Let’s begin.
