Shame & Identity Burnout: The Problem with Role Over-Identification


Listen Later

Whew I loved everything about getting to talk with Nic Scholtysik about her work in identity burnout and really diving deep into the connect most important to a full life. Some of my favorite takeaways included:

  • What makes hard conversations difficult and why they are important
  • What is identity related burnout?
  • The loneliness and overwhelm that can come with the “expat” experience
  • The impact of over identification — both when chosen and when transposed onto you
  • How Nic’s skillset ultimately put her out of business
  • How your home design tells us everything about our sense of joy and fulfillment
  • What is “borrowed style” and how are you leveraging that to try and find happiness
  • How are we rushing ourselves into “being” by not giving our bodies time to show up and exist in the space
  • What stops us from asking the hard questions
  • How we can make a living but fail to live a life
  • What it looks like to cultivate enthusiasm in your life

  • More About Nic:

    Nic Scholtysik is a designer, serial-expat and belonging researcher using design thinking, positive psychology and coaching to help clients identify and create ways to take work-life-control by answering the question: How do you want to come home to yourself?
