Episode 16 -Who Are We Without Our Jobs? Rethinking Identity and Reinvention

If our job isn’t who we are, then who are we?In this episode, we talk about identity and how deeply it’s tied to careers, productivity, and what we “do” in the world. We question the idea that not working outside the home means we’re failing, and we explore whether reinvention is possible after raising a family or stepping away from paid work.We also talk about passions, interests, and the things we love — and how they shape who we are whether or not they ever become a business or career.This conversation is about widening the definition of identity, asking better questions, and learning how to be genuinely curious about who people are beyond titles, degrees, or résumés.E-mail us at [email protected]!-Elyse and David
