It’s common to tie your identity to your career. You chose your job for a reason—you went to college, you interned, maybe even went to grad school. You did what you needed to do to get the skills and experience needed to land that job. Being proud of your job and enjoying your work isn’t a bad thing. In fact, it’s something a lot of us aspire to since we spend so much of our time working. But it’s problematic when you start to view your self-worth in relation to your job, especially when things don’t go as planned, like an unexpected layoff, or losing interest in what you do for work. You feel like a nobody, and like you have no proof of all your hard work. Your happiness and self-esteem may take a hit, impacting your personal life, relationships, and overall well-being. In this episode, I share how to identify if your career is tied to your self-worth, and what steps to take to separate the personal from the professional.
