Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• My work has started to feel like an empty grind of tasks I do for myself and my paycheck, and I’m hungry to feel that what I make or do actually matters to someone beyond me
• The question of what my life means feels too huge to even hold, and it leaves me paralyzed
• If someone asked me what actually gives my life meaning I’d list the things I’m supposed to say, but honestly I’ve never sorted out which moments genuinely light something in me versus the ones I just approve of from a distance.
• I keep waiting to feel loved enough or seen enough to feel like my life means something, and it never quite fills
• I know there are a couple of things I’m genuinely good at, but I use them just to get by
