What Got You There with Sean DeLaney

The Identity Trap: Evolving Beyond the Role You Think You Are — Beneath The Surface


Listen Later

In a world that tells us to measure our worth by what we do, it’s easy to confuse our roles, titles, and achievements for who we are. But what happens when the job changes, the title disappears, or the success fades? Who are you beneath all of that?

In this episode, we go beneath the surface to explore the truth about identity—why tying your self-worth to external success creates a fragile life, and how to build an identity rooted in values, presence, and essence. 

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
  • Why success-based identity creates burnout and emotional instability
  • How labels, even positive ones, limit your growth and potential
  • How to create a personal code that grounds you in who you truly are
