Midlife identity: Who are you without the thing?

from How It's Really Going at 50 with Shana Recker · host Shana Recker

Midlife identity: Who are you without the thing?  I've been thinking a lot lately about how much of our identity gets wrapped up in what we do, what we've achieved, and who we're connected to. And the question I keep coming back to is, who are you when all of that goes away? In this episode, I'm getting personal about my own career transitions and the pattern I only recognized in hindsight. I talk about the trap I almost fell into when I was at my lowest, why I think the menopause transition is actually a gift in disguise, and how this podcast itself is a perfect example of everything I'm talking about. If you've ever tied your worth to a title, a business, a role, or even a person, this one's for you.   Thank you all so much for listening!
