How do you do meaningful work… without disappearing in it?

This week on Overnight Wisdom, Chisom speaks with Attia Taylor, founder of Womanly Magazine, musician, artist, and health advocate, about what it means to build work that is intentional, community rooted, and deeply human. They talk about identity, service, creativity, health justice, and the emotional cost of doing work that matters, while still trying to hold on to yourself.

They explore the tension between purpose and selfhood. Attia is building work that matters — centering communities often excluded from healthcare and cultural narratives.

They talk about identity clarity in practice — not as a concept, but as something you have to actively protect. From the emotional weight of serving others, to the quiet loneliness of purpose-driven work, to the discipline of asking: who am I beyond what I build, fix, or fight for?

This is a conversation about holding both —
commitment to impact, and commitment to self.

Because meaningful work should expand you.
Not erase you.
