Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm Helen.

And this is the Squiggly Careers podcast.

Every week we talk about a topic to do with work

and try to share some ideas and actions

that we just really hope will help you to navigate your squiggly career

with that bit more confidence and control.

And this week we are talking about how to let go of career FOMO.

And the idea for this came from, there was a party that I wasn't invited to.

I haven't told Sarah, this is what triggered the idea.

What?

I know, there's a party I wasn't invited to.

And I text a person.

I was like, oh my gosh, I've got FOMO.

And I was just actually just joking, ish. And then I just got thinking about FOMO.

And I was like, I wonder whether people have career FOMO.

And it was like a light thought.

It was just a light little, I wonder if this is something that people really relate to from a career perspective.

And so I put it on our Instagram channel, which is at Amazing If, should you wish to join. And I put it on our stories.

And I said, you know, yes or no, do you have career FOMO? And like very, very quickly, I can always tell a topic that resonates with people by the speed of how people respond. And very,

very quickly, we had hundreds of people that said yes. So, and 97% of people were like, yes, this is something that

resonates with me. I get career fomo. And then I asked a secondary question because I was like,

well, I wonder if this is different for people, which is like, what does career fomo look for you?
