hi baddies ~ here are some thoughts for anyone feeling overwhelmed about their job and how it fits into their identity or feel like there's something wrong with them that they don't feel 'passionate' about their job. obviously this is a very nuanced topic and this is just one perspective. let me know what you think, share your experiences and let me know which other angles we can discuss from! love ya xx

02:34 - 02:56 - don’t make assumptions about other people’s work

02:58 - 04:00 - aspire for a full life & identity, not one just consumed by work

04:02 - 04:27 - detach from your job

04:27 - 04:48 - how can your job facilitate a life with passion

04:51 - 06:18 - hustle culture

06:27 - 07:01 - the privilege of awareness

07:02 - 07:36 - disrespect is not a prerequesite to success

07:39 - 11:25 - reverse engineer the vibe of success for you

11:28 - 11:43 - micro-dosing risk

11:45 - 12:05 - do an audit of your life

12:05 - 13:01 - don’t assume that all hobbies need to be monetized

13:04 - 14:02 - figure out your balance between compensation & creativity

14:10 - 14:18 - this is a chapter not the whole book
