Losing Yourself in the Job

from The Balanced Badass Podcast® · host Tara Kermiet | Leadership Coach & Burnout Strategist

In this episode, we get into the dangerous cultural norm of equating our worth with our work. We've become people defined by our job titles and productivity, fostering burnout and identity crises. By exploring the roots of this work-centric ideology, we uncover how to separate who we are from what we do. Let's find out how to reclaim our identities beyond our resumes and build burnout-resistant lives.  Check out the detailed show notes (https://tarakermiet.com/podcast/) and leave your thoughts or questions about today's topic.  Got something to say?
