S12 E3: Your Job is NOT Your Whole Personality, and We Need to Talk About It with Lauren Schneider
About this episode
Hebba Youssef chats with Lauren Schneider about the complexities of career pivots and the impact of job identity on personal life.
We talk a lot about career pivots like they're these well-planned, LinkedIn-announcement-ready moments. In reality, they are almost NEVER that! Today I'm chatting with Lauren Schneider, Head of Brand and Communications at Compt. Lauren is a recovering TV reporter, millennial mom, improv performer, and someone who has quit jobs in the messiest, most human ways possible and lived to tell about it. We're getting into what happens when your whole identity gets wrapped up in a job that isn't working, what it feels like to walk away without a safety net, and how you start to reclaim the parts of yourself that work slowly convince you don't matter. This one felt like therapy, so it’s time! 00:02:04 - How Lauren Got Into Improv 00:05:49 - Something Lauren Believed About Work Early on That She Had to Unlearn 00:13:16 - The Culture Shock of Moving to Salt Lake City 00:26:06 - Lauren’s Advice From Mentors About Quitting a Bad Job 00:30:40 - Was Lauren Financially Prepared to Quit Her Job? 00:38:38 - Quitting Jobs Without a Safety Net 00:47:04 - How Lauren’s Experiences Changed Her Relationship With Work 00:57:27 - What Lauren Wants Listeners to Take Away From Her Story The Predictive Index…
