Comfortable Career? Here's the Hidden Cost.

Episode #6

In this episode of The Reinvention Room, Gwendy unpacks something many of us avoid looking at—the hidden cost of staying comfortable in your career. It might feel responsible or sensible to stay where you are, but is that comfort quietly limiting your growth? Gwendy shares her own story of career comfort, coasting, and the moment she realised it was holding her back. This episode is a wake-up call to check where you might be playing it too safe—and what it could be costing you.
