Shame & Identity Burnout: The Problem with Role Over-Identification

Whew I loved everything about getting to talk with Nic Scholtysik about her work in identity burnout and really diving deep into the connect most important to a full life. Some of my favorite takeaways included: What makes hard conversations difficult and why they are important What is identity related burnout? The loneliness and overwhelm that can come with the “expat” experience The impact of over identification — both when chosen and when transposed onto you How Nic’s skillset ultimately put her out of business How your home design tells us everything about our sense of joy and fulfillment What is “borrowed style” and how are you leveraging that to try and find happiness How are we rushing ourselves into “being” by not giving our bodies time to show up and exist in the space What stops us from asking the hard questions How we can make a living but fail to live a life What it looks like to cultivate enthusiasm in your life More About Nic: Nic Scholtysik is a designer, serial-expat and belonging researcher using design thinking, positive psychology and coaching to help clients identify and create ways to take work-life-control by answering the question: How do you want to come home to yourself?
