Travel & Transformation

Work Is Third. Everything Else Comes First. with Dawn Hunter


Listen Later

If your job disappeared tomorrow, would you know who you are without it? Work should not be your whole identity.


In this episode of the Travel and Transformation podcast, I talk with Dawn M. Hunter — JD, MPH, workplace culture strategist, and host of the Work Is Third podcast. Dawn spent 20+ years as a public health lawyer in public service before leaving a toxic work environment and building her own consulting practice. 


We get into values alignment, leaving toxic workplaces, rediscovering who you are outside of your job, and why the small celebrations you're skipping are the ones that change everything.


If you've ever tied your entire identity to your job, or stayed somewhere that no longer aligned with your values because leaving felt too risky — this conversation is for you.


TOPICS DISCUSSED:

  • Why work becoming your identity is a public health problem
  • How to figure out what you actually want 
  • Values alignment: how to know when your job — and your life — are out of sync
  • What ethical leadership looks like when your company's culture doesn't match yours
  • Why leaving a toxic job is good for your mental and physical health
  • The small celebrations that compound into a completely different life

BEST MOMENTS:


"Family, friends, work. Either way — work is third."

"The longer you stay somewhere that isn't aligned with your values, what you're saying is that job is more important than your values."

"I've survived 100% of my worst days. I'm still here. I'm still kicking."
