70. Your Identity Isn't Your Job Title: Burnout, People-Pleasing, and Redefining Success (with Morgan Wilson)

"My identity should not be held in my job and my job title." Morgan WilsonWhat happens to your sense of self when the job you built your identity around disappears overnight?After nearly a decade in legal recruiting, Morgan Wilson was let go, and everything she thought defined her went with it. In this episode she shares the burnout and Sunday-night dread that came first, the six months of inner work that helped her separate her worth from her title, and how she rebuilt a definition of success that comes from the inside out.We talk about the people-pleasing and over-functioning patterns that keep high performers over-giving, how to set boundaries inside high-pressure cultures, why women so often hold back from asking for what they need, and how to tell the difference between running from a job and moving toward something real. Morgan also shares a grounded, practical way to think about AI and career disruption instead of freezing in fear.If you've tied who you are to what you do, and you're quietly burnt out underneath it, this one is for you.Connect with Morgan WilsonWebsite: https://www.thewilson.coLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/morganwilsoncoWork with Fiona Walsh:Explore coaching, somatic recalibration, and resources for high performers ready to lead from clarity and nervous system safety:Website: https://www.fionawalsh.co1:1 Coaching & Breakthrough Sessions: https://www.fionawalsh.co/work-with-meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fionawalshcoachingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fiona-walsh-coachEmail: [email protected] this episode gave you clarity or a moment of relief, follow Limitless and leave a rating.
