Dilemma: My work identity is all I have

This week’s dilemma:

“My work identity is all I have”

In this minisode, we hear from Adrian, a lifelong politics nerd who’s built his entire identity around a job he’s no longer sure he even likes.

He was the kid quoting local councillors in the school newspaper, the student leading debates at uni, and now, a senior advisor who can’t remember the last time he had a hobby that didn’t involve a manifesto.

We talk about what happens when your ambition gets everything you asked for, except a life outside of work. If you’ve ever felt like your job title has swallowed your personality, this one’s for you.

Work is part of who we are but it shouldn’t be all we are.
