Don’t Let Your Job Define Your Identity with Engineering Life Coach, Gina Covarrubias

Don’t Let Your Job Define Your Identity with Engineering Life Coach, Gina Covarrubias

Do your unmet expectations at work affect your emotional well-being, self-worth, and sense of meaning in life? Let’s talk about how to avoid this by taking control of the things you can change and considering a mindset shift.


In today's episode, I'm joined by Engineering Life Coach, Speaker, and Executive Coach, Gina Covarrubias. As a former Aerospace Engineer, Gina is passionate about helping STEM professionals facing a lack of fulfillment in their careers by guiding them and offering the tools they need to spark career breakthroughs.


You'll hear about Gina's struggles as an Engineer, her self-doubt and how she felt out of place and found herself in a never-ending search for the elusive “dream career” that she believed all her education and hard work should have led to. We talk about how she got out of that dark place and radically shifted her career's direction. We delve into the importance of being deliberate about every decision we make and share some tips for those who feel they are burning the candle at both ends.


In addition, we discuss the value of internal vs. external motivation, the importance of social support, the most helpful approach to coaching someone through career challenges, Gina's experiences as a woman in the male-dominated field of engineering, and so much more.


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • About Gina's career transition and how she dealt with feeling like a fish out of water (10:19)
  • Your skills are always transferable in some way (13:02)
  • What makes people get so stressed out in their jobs (17:08)
  • Practical tips for those who feel unfulfilled in their careers (23:22)
  • About Gina's uniqueness and her coaching style (29:52)
  • Your uniqueness is your superpower (39:25)
