Why Losing Your Job Feels Like Losing Yourself — Alyson and Tripp Lanier
Is your self worth directly tied to your money or job?
Do you feel like a loser if you’re not pulling your weight financially?
And why do so many of us feel rudderless after we lose a job or sell a business?
Today Alyson and I dig into money, self worth, and identity. We explore what it means to be a provider, how we can become a burden to our wives, and why it can feel so personally devastating to stop earning money.
In this conversation:
