About this listen
What happens when the ground shifts beneath us — literally or metaphorically?
In this episode, Christiane and Stephen explore the idea of “workquakes” and “lifequakes”, drawing on Bruce Feiler’s work to unpack how our careers and identities get disrupted. From the recent Myanmar earthquake to seismic shifts in AI adoption, they reflect on the personal, emotional, and practical aspects of major transitions — and how to navigate them.
You’ll hear:
The difference between lifequakes and workquakes — and why AI may be triggering both
Why identity loss can be more painful than job loss
Three practical tools to help you stay grounded when the ground shakes
Why meaning matters more than money — and how to find it again
How to sit in the “messy middle” without rushing to the next thing
This isn’t just about change. It’s about who we are becoming.
