In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we explore what it takes to create a fulfilling professional life while also protecting our well-being. My guest this week is Bree Groff, a seasoned consultant, transformation expert and author of Today Was Fun: A Book About Work (Seriously).

Bree shares her unconventional career journey from teaching middle and high school math and physics, to acting, to consulting and culture change and ultimately to authoring a book about joy at work. Along the way, she opens up about identity shifts, learning to slow down and the hard-earned perspective that comes from life’s toughest seasons, including caring for her mother through terminal illness.

Together we talk about:

• The messy, non-linear path to a fulfilling career
• Why “future you” is stronger and more resourceful than you think
• How to create more joy in your workdays without ignoring hard realities
• Practical strategies for setting boundaries, pacing yourself and making space for what matters most
