Listen "When your work becomes your worth"
Episode Synopsis
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:
