Work Life Balance for Speech Pathologists: Mindful Time Management Tips for Therapists, Clinicians, & Private Practice Owners

102. Your Job Is Not Your Identity—Even If You're Damn Good at It


Listen Later

Welcome to Part 1 of our 5-part burnout series! In this episode, we’re starting at the root: identity. If you’re a high-achieving SLP (or OT or PT) who gets told you’re “a lifesaver,” “the only one who gets it,” or “the one who always says yes”... it’s time to ask: Is your job your entire identity?

I'm covering:

  • How well-meaning validation keeps us stuck in burnout
  • The hidden cost of being the “fixer,” the “flexible one,” or the “overachiever”
  • Why compliments feel good—but can trap us in people-pleasing
  • A mindset shift that lets you love your career without losing yourself in it

You’ll also learn how to:
 ✅ Identify the role you play at work (and whether it aligns with who you actually are)
✅ Audit your schedule for obligation vs. intention
✅ Start reclaiming an identity outside of your productivity
