Episode 30: Stuck in Your Career? How to Actually Figure Out What You Want to Do with Alex Dworksy

In this episode, I’m joined by Alex Dworsky, founder of Staj.

Alex spent years coming up in corporate America, seeing firsthand how careers are built, and how often people end up disconnected from the work they’re doing. Over time, she started to notice a pattern: people were making major career decisions without ever really seeing what those jobs looked like in practice.

That realization stuck with her.

After building a strong network across industries, she turned that insight into something tangible — founding Staj, a job shadowing platform focused on helping people explore careers through real-world, hands-on experiences and honest conversations with professionals. In our conversation, we get into what she saw inside corporate environments, why so many people feel stuck in roles that look “right” on paper, and what it actually looks like to explore a different path without starting over.

We talk about:

☕ What people misunderstand about “good” career paths
☕ Why career pivots feel so hard (and where they go wrong)
☕ How to test a new direction without blowing everything up
☕ The role curiosity plays in finding the right fit
☕ What it actually looks like to make a change
