Redundancy and Identity: You are not your work!


Listen Later

After an overwhelming response to our episode on being made redundant, we decided to dive a little deeper into a common feeling felt post-redundancy. That without our job, our sense of self and worth came into question. We felt lost, unsure of who we are or what our value is, and after receiving many messages from listeners the thing we all had in common was a deep insecurity about our identity.


We wanted to share some insight into what we did to help pull ourselves out of this feeling, to remind ourselves of what drives us, what motivates us, and that perhaps a silver lining is that we’ve both come to the conclusion that we need to cultivate an identity that our jobs contribute to, but are not solely responsible for.
