Let Go and Be Free Podcast: Episode 81 (What Is Your Relationship with Work? [Part 2])

In this second episode where I discuss work and our relationship to it, I recap Simone Stolzoff's book The Good Enough Job and how fear has fueled my desire to work hard all the time. 

I also discuss how addicted behaviors are picked up by Adult Children of Alcoholics (you may not drink, but throw your time/energy in work, etc.). 

I share my personal work history and talk about losing my job at the beginning of the pandemic.

  • How did I feel not having a job?

  • How did that stir up my fears of not having enough money to survive (even if that wasn't true)?

  • What is the healthy balance between work and rest?

  • Having a balanced approach to life (the juste milieu - middle path) is best. 

  • Who are you without work?
