When your work becomes your worth

In this episode, I explore a powerful yet often overlooked topic: enmeshment, which is the blurring of boundaries between work and self-worth. Drawing from personal experiences, client stories, and thought-provoking insights, I examine how tightly intertwining our identity with our career can impact our self-esteem and overall well-being.

You'll gain practical strategies to disentangle your sense of self from your professional achievements, identify where enmeshment may be showing up in your life, and take steps to cultivate a balanced, fulfilling identity that thrives beyond the workplace. This is your invitation to redefine your worth and live authentically.

Mentioned in This Episode:

Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know by Adam Grant. Learn more about the book here.

Take Action:

1. Reflect: Assess how much of your self-worth stems from your career and journal about your findings.

2. Reconnect: List three activities, hobbies, or relationships outside of work that bring you joy and commit time to them this week.

3. Redefine success: Write down your top three core values unrelated to your job and explore how you can live those values daily. Here's a free resource to help you define your values.
