In this episode of Deep Dive, I sit down with Simone Stolzoff to explore how work and identity often intertwine, and why it’s essential to find meaning beyond just a job. We talk about the importance of investing in different areas of life, setting realistic expectations for work, and finding fulfilment outside of the career. Tune in for practical tips on how to diversify your identity, prioritise what truly matters, and embrace a balanced approach to life. 🙂
