Burnt Out and Starting Over: How to Rebuild Your Identity After a Career Transition ft. Aaron Tisdale-Parker

What happens when you've done everything right — built the title, earned the stability, created the role — and it still gets taken away?In this episode, Renae sits down with Aaron Tisdale-Parker (AT), management consultant, former federal project manager, and author, to talk about what it actually looks like to move through identity loss, burnout, and transformation without having a roadmap.Aaron shares his story of going from washing dishes at a Baltimore stadium to building a role specifically designed around his skills in the public sector — only to have that rug pulled when the administration changed. What followed was a crash course in survival mode, nervous system regulation, and learning the difference between adapting and evolving.By the end of this episode, you'll understand: — Why burnout is rarely just about overworking (and what betrayal has to do with it) — How to tell the difference between evolving and just surviving — Why perfectionism and identity are keeping more people stuck than hustle ever did — What "one day at a time" actually means when your whole system is in freefall — How to stop forcing and start allowing — without bypassing your responsibilitiesThis one is for anyone who's ever tied their worth to a title, lost something they built, or found themselves at a crossroads wondering who they are now.Ways to find Aaron:Connect with Aaron: https://www.aaronltisdale.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aaronltisdale/Find Aaron's book here: By the Power Vested in Me: Soulful Affirmations Book (On Amazon) Support the showFind more info on how to work with Renae - [ Wayward Wellness Coaching ]CONNECT ON SOCIALS:LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/waywardwellnesscoaching/Website → https://www.waywardwellnesscoaching.orgInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/wayward_wellness_coaching/Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/p/Wayward-Wellness-Coaching-61566792351111/
