There’s a resignation that isn’t signed. One that isn’t communicated by email or handed to HR. One that happens in silence, often during a video call, in the middle of a meeting, or in that moment when you look at your calendar and ask yourself: “Is this all there is?”
I’m talking about the silent resignation of the soul.
The one experienced by thousands of successful professionals who have learned to maintain their status and financial stability, but at the cost of their meaning, their creativity, and their vitality.
In my experience as a life strategist and numerologist, I’ve accompanied many people who, on the outside, seem to have it all: a good position, recognition, high income—but internally, they feel empty, disconnected, and stuck.
They don’t dare to resign, and not because they don’t know their cycle has ended. They know it, but they’re afraid:
So they do what they can: they stay, they continue, they endure—but inside, they’re no longer there.
Silent resignation (also known as quiet quitting), which often shows up as a hidden form of burnout or professional crisis, has a cost.
Sometimes it’s physical: insomnia, chronic fatigue, anxiety. Other times it’s emotional: irritability, nameless sadness, a sense of not belonging. And almost always it’s existential: that persistent doubt of whether you are where you’re supposed to be… or just where you got used to being, without a true sense of purpose at work.
“I have everything, but I feel like something is missing.”
I hear this phrase often. And it’s not about ingratitude. It’s about a soul that’s knocking at the door.
From my perspective—where I combine tools such as Pythagorean numerology, strategic foresight, and coaching—I’ve seen clearly how inner cycles mark key moments to pause, question paths, and redesign direction.
When we ignore those signals, we begin to live in dissonance: sustaining a professional structure that no longer resonates with our current energy. And in that dissonance, life is lost.
The way out is not always an immediate resignation. Sometimes the first step is simply recognizing that something has disconnected. It’s about making space for silence, for questioning, for the inner map. It’s about asking yourself:
If you’re going through a stage where everything looks stable on the outside, but something trembles on the inside, you’re not alone. There is another way to live: more aligned, more strategic, more conscious. A life where you don’t have to choose between success and purpose, between money and meaning, between security and expansion.
A purposeful career transition is possible, and it doesn’t always mean leaving a job. Sometimes, it means starting to truly listen to yourself. That is precisely the first step after identifying that you resigned in silence. The second step is designing a new path that aligns with you from within.
You can share it with someone who may be going through this stage, or leave me a message. And if you’d like to go deeper in your own transition process, I invite you to discover SIGNUM, my high-impact coaching program for professionals and leaders seeking clarity, direction, and purpose.
With purpose,
