Here’s the episode:

This podcast is about human flourishing at work AND BEYOND. Work and non-work are often intertwined, but if we’re to flourish in life, we need to pay attention to the full spectrum of human flourishing. Today’s episode is probably a little more on the “beyond” side of the spectrum.  We discuss:

  • What is your identity and why is it important?

  • Work identity and the benefits of a more complex identity.

  • Developing a balanced “you.”
