In our one-year anniversary episode, Jennifer talks to Tara McMullin about our relationship to work, how we make & find meaning, and and begin to feel emotionally sustainable in all aspects of our lives all the through the lens of curiosity, context, and care. They talk about work-life integration, understanding our capacity, how to allocate resources and how small adjustments can make a huge shift. They also talk about how identities are not defined by the doing, present questions like, “who am I without the doing” and “do I have what I need to do this well,” and begin to offer alternate ways of approaching a more satisfied life.
