If there's one thing I want you to take away from today's episode, it's this:

Your worth is not your work.

I've talked before about how, as accountants, we tend to glorify hard work. We compete to see who can work the most hours, who can miss the most school events, who can eat the most lunches at their desks…

All because we think working hard is what makes us worthy.

Well, I've finally unlearned this definition of self-worth…but it wasn't easy, and it took a long time. So today, I want to help you get started on your own deprogramming with the return of my good friend to the podcast: ChatGPT.

We're going to go over WHY you've attached your self-worth so inextricably to your work, how to shift that in a healthy way, and I'm going to give you a couple journal prompts to get you started.

It's not an easy change, but it is a necessary one…and it starts today.
