What even is a dream job? This week I’m joined by Jemma Sbeg, host of the hit podcast The Psychology of Your 20s, to unpack the psychology behind purpose, burnout, and whether chasing a “dream job” is ever really the answer.

We talk occupational identity (why work so easily becomes who we are), the difference between being tired and truly burnt out and how emotions like jealousy can actually be clues to what we want.

How do you figure out what you want in your career? Sometimes, it’s by learning what you don’t want. In this episode of I Want Your Job, I sit down with Anai Godfrey, producer and host of Secondz, an online platform spotlighting Australia’s food scene.

Anai shares how imposter syndrome evolves, putting yourself out there (even if it means sliding into DMs), and the tension between being perceived as confident and actually feeling it.
