decentering work without losing yourself

In this episode, we’re getting honest about something a lot of us don’t want to admit… work isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are.As women in our 30s who have spent years building careers we’re proud of, we’ve also built lives where everything else seems to revolve around them. Our time, our energy, our relationships, even how we see ourselves. And at some point, you start to ask… is this actually working?We dive into the idea of “decentering work” and what it really means to untangle your identity from your career without losing your ambition. Because it’s not as simple as just caring less. For many of us, work sits at the centre of everything.We also explore the concept of the Wheel of Life and how, in reality, it often looks less like a balanced circle and more like a life where work dictates every other category. From love and friendships to health, fun, and personal growth, we talk about what gets left behind when work takes over.And then we ask the question that stayed with us long after we stopped recording:If you were offered a soft life, would you actually take it?This is a conversation about identity, ambition, burnout, and redefining success on your own terms. It’s messy, honest, and very much something we’re still figuring out in real time.If you’ve ever felt like your worth is tied to your productivity, or wondered who you are outside of what you achieve, this one’s for you.
