Job security – The Illusion of Job Security in Today’s Economy
The Illusion of Job Security in Today’s Economy
Is traditional job security a myth? Lita, Goddess of Growth, explores the hard economic realities, the power of personal transformation, and the path to true empowerment through self-employment in this compelling podcast clip.
(Introduction)
For years, we’ve been sold a simple formula: work hard, be loyal, and you’ll be rewarded with a secure job and a comfortable life. But what happens when that promise breaks? In this clip from Empowerment Diaries, I delve into the unsettling truth that traditional job security is an illusion in our modern, global economy. This isn’t about fostering fear; it’s about sparking a crucial conversation on personal empowerment and the transformation needed to build real, lasting security on your own terms.
(Transcript/Key Discussion Points)
In this clip, we explore:
- The Global Marketplace Reality: The notion of a stable job for life has been dismantled by global economic shifts. “We are in a global marketplace,” as I note, and this changes everything about how we view our careers.
- When Hard Work Isn’t Enough: We tackle the difficult truth that “the system isn’t designed for hard workers” to always succeed. Many in low-paid roles are penalised for their dedication, a stark economic reality that challenges conventional wisdom.
- The Pivot to Empowerment: Recognising this illusion is the first, vital step towards personal growth. True security isn’t found in a monthly payslip from someone else, but in the skills, adaptability, and strategic mindset you cultivate yourself.

The dream of working from anywhere sounds simple until you meet the real borders: income thresholds, visa hoops, trade rules, and algorithms that shrink your reach the moment you move. We unpack who truly gets to be a digital nomad and why mobility often functions like a privilege reserved for the well‑resourced, even as remote work has become normal for so many.
I walk through the post‑pandemic landscape—how outsourcing evolved, how Brexit narrowed options for UK workers, and why wages in essential roles often fail to match the cost of living. We get candid about platform friction: location‑sensitive feeds, flagged VPNs, and commerce policies that block you from selling to the very audience you built. From indie bands losing tours to last‑minute visa denials to creators seeing income dip after crossing a border, these stori
