About this listen

Who are you without your job? If your title vanished tomorrow, would you still recognise yourself?

In this thought-provoking episode, we dive into the neuroscience of identity and the complex relationship between who we are and what we do for a living. From career breaks and retirement to job loss and reinvention, we examine why our professions often become such a core part of our self-worth—and whether that’s a good thing.

Join us as we explore the risks of over-identifying with work, the psychological effects of career change, and how to build a more balanced, fulfilling sense of self beyond your CV.

If you've ever felt adrift without work or questioned where your true identity lies, this one's for you.
