What happens when your job becomes more than your job?
When it becomes who you are, how you introduce yourself, how you measure your worth, and then one day, it’s no longer there, or no longer enough.
In this first episode of Le Goûter (pronounced goo-TAY, like “hooray”), I sit down with Teri and Alicia for an honest, unfiltered conversation about work, identity, ambition, burnout, and the quiet pressure to always be “something” in a world that rewards productivity over presence.
We talk about building a life around a career, getting addicted to feedback, losing yourself inside a role, and the uncomfortable question that follows: Who am I if I stop doing this?
Not as a crisis headline, but as a real, lived experience many professionals go through without language for it.
This conversation isn’t about quitting your job or finding a perfect next step. It’s about what happens internally when the structure you relied on starts to crack. About grief, ego, reinvention, and the strange mix of fear and relief that comes with slowing down or starting over.
Le Goûter is a live conversation series filmed in front of an audience. Think tea time, but bolder. A space for thoughtful, grounded discussions about modern work, identity, leadership, and the transitions we don’t talk about enough.
If you’ve ever:
- tied your self-worth to your work
- felt lost when a role ended or changed
- wondered who you are outside your title
- felt successful but strangely empty
- or struggled with burnout in silence
this episode is for you.
New episodes will continue to explore work, ambition, identity, leadership, and the cultural shifts reshaping how we live and work, with people who’ve lived it, not just studied it.
Thank you for listening, sharing, and being part of this conversation.
