The Balance Theory

STOP Introducing Yourself With Your Job Title (Say THIS Instead)


Listen Later

You already know what you do. But do you know who you are?


In this episode of The Balance Theory, Erika sits down with Rahaf Kobeissi, mental health and mindset expert, published author, and keynote speaker, to unpack one of the most quietly common experiences of high achieving people, building a life that looks right on paper and still feeling like something essential is missing. This isn't another conversation about doing more or optimising your routine. It is about stripping back everything you have built to find the person underneath it all.


If you've ever caught yourself thinking:

"I have everything I worked for, so why do I still feel empty?"

"I don't know who I am outside of what I do"

"I keep achieving things and none of it feels like enough"

"Something feels off but I genuinely cannot explain what"

"I feel like I am just going through the motions of a life I built on autopilot"


Then this episode is for you. In this conversation, Erika and Rahaf cover:


- Why high achievers still feel like something is missing even after reaching their goals

- How to find your real identity when your whole life has been built around what you do

- The signs you are disconnected from yourself and do not even know it

- Why you have been introducing yourself by your job title and what to say instead

- The fine line between doing things to achieve versus doing things for yourself

- How to know whose goals you are actually chasing

- What to remove from your life before you even think about adding more

- How Human Design can help you understand yourself in a practical way

- Whether a relationship can survive when one person is growing faster than the other

- How to know if you are lost or just in a transition, and the one question that tells you


The real you is not lost. They are just waiting to be found.
