172. Your Job Is Not Your Identity: How to Separate Who You Are From What You Do
About this episode
Michela Allocca discusses how to separate personal identity from job titles and build a meaningful life outside of work.
If your job title feels like your entire life - or you’re afraid to change careers because of what you might lose - this episode is for you. 4.5 years after leaving corporate, I’m sharing what it really took to separate who I am from what I do for work. We’ll talk about why we tie self-worth to work, why career changes can feel like identity crises, and how to build a meaningful life outside your job. You’ll learn how to stop leading with your title, take your hobbies seriously without monetizing them, and create more freedom in your career and life.
