Show notes

What if your job disappeared tomorrow? Who would you be? In this week’s Midweek Tease, we unpack a powerful idea inspired by my recent conversation with Odunoluwa Longe on Difference She Makes: Your purpose should be your life, not your job. For many high-achieving women, identity and productivity have become intertwined. We are praised for being exceptional, indispensable, reliable. But what happens when performance becomes the only place we feel worthy? In this reflective episode, we explore: The psychological concept of contingent self-worthWhy high-achieving women over-identify with careerThe difference between passion and alignmentHow to separate income from identityPractical, psychology-backed ways to begin discovering your purposeThis episode is an invitation to gently untangle who you are from what you do. Because your life is bigger than your title.
