"I quit my big job and now I feel like a loser." Shannon Sedlacek #65

Former litigator (and firefighter) Shannon Sedlacek is back by popular demand. She featured in episode 53, one of the most downloaded episodes of the year. She's back to share what happened to her identity when she was forced to leave her impressive job. She shares how her sense of self shifted so dramatically, that at one point, she didn't even want to be alive. She also shares the two things that helped her transcend those difficult times. You'll hear a cameo from a previous guest. You'll also hear what I learned from a man in burgundy robes that messed with my thinking. If you're highly identified with your job, but know deep down that you have a tough choice ahead, this episode is for YOU.    Links: Shannon Sedlacek's website. Gelong Thubten's book.
