Hi, I'm Helen and I'm Sarah and you're listening to the Squiggly Careers podcast, a weekly show

where we talk about the ups, downs, ins and outs of work and give you some ideas for action,

some tools to try out and hopefully a little bit of support along the squiggly way. And often,

it's helping us with all the things that we're

navigating as well. And if it's your first time listening to the podcast, it's worth knowing that

as well as the episode, which always focuses on a particular topic, and Sarah will tell you what

that is in a minute, we also create lots of resources to help the learning last longer. So you can

download a pod sheet, which is a one page summary with some coaching questions in and some of those summarised ideas of action.

There is a pod note, which is like a swipable summary.

You can get that on our social media pages, so just at Amazing If on Instagram or LinkedIn.

And then there is PodPlus, which happens most Thursdays.

That is my caveat, most Thursdays, at 9 o'clock on Zoom.

It's 30 minutes of free learning with the Squiggly Careers Community.

And all the information for that is in the show notes, or you can go to our website,

Amazingif.com.

So today we're talking about career red flags.

And these red flags are a signal that something isn't working for you.

And I think though it can feel quite negative, like Helen and I were just saying, doing some preparation for this, we're like, oh, it does feel a bit negative at times because you are talking here about what's not working.

The idea is that by sort of acknowledging and being aware of your red flags, it's hopefully a

useful prompt to do something differently. Because I think with red flags, we can all be a bit

guilty of hoping that something's going to change. It was like maybe we're waiting it out,

just being like, at some point, hopefully they'll disappear. But most of the time,
