Description

Is your identity preventing you from making a necessary change? The golden child, the one who spent decades climbing the corporate ladder, often stays miserable because they can't separate who they are from what they do. Annie Duke reminds us that even the toughest career pivots are surprisingly reversible, and encourages us to imagine what we'd do with those reclaimed 60 hours each week if we finally walked away. [Episode 94]
