This week on the Therapy for Black Girls podcast, Dr. Joy Horton-Bredford talks about what your inner voice is telling you about work in the new year. Is your busyness at work covering up a deeper sense of emptiness with what you do outside the office? If so, maybe this is a year to start renegotiating the role that work plays in your life. We'll hear why quieting our mental and environmental noise can be so essential for our well-being. And we'll learn some practical steps we can all take to get there.
We can put huge amounts of physical and emotional energy into our jobs - even basing our self-worth on our achievements at work and letting ourselves be defined by what we do. So have our careers taken over too much of our lives?
Simone Stolzoff (author of The Good Enough Job: Reclaiming Life from Work) argues that we should stop hunting for the "perfect" job - that idealized career that will prove to others how smart, industrious or virtuous we are - and instead find an occupation that allows to us live happier and more rounded lives that don't revolve only around work.
