You are not your job or career.
And when you’re ready to grieve your career/work, know that there’s a more whole you waiting on the other side.
I've created this free training about the grief that comes up as you realize your job/career is not the path to happiness and satisfaction that you thought it would be.
Through getting to know your grief, you gain peace knowing that what you needed before from your professional identity no longer serves the purpose and wholeness you crave now.
Underneath this grief is an invitation to answer the question:
What is my more soulful purpose in life?
In this training, you will:
Gain perspective on disenfranchised grief;
Explore how it might be showing up for you as you navigate your relationship to work and career;
Learn somatic practices to create space to hold and move with this grief; and
Leave with some soulwork, including a reflection practice on how to write a breakup letter to that old work identity.
A lot of us over-function and get ourselves over-scheduled in order to try and outrun feeling our grief that our careers and jobs aren’t the path to happiness and fulfillment we thought they’d be. Our hustle work culture even promotes and rewards this.
I talk to so many folks who resist and fear slowing down their lives because they don’t want to face and feel the grief and regret.
But when you push grief down or away, the body and mind become stuck. Your body’s nervous system feels threatened and may alert a fight/flight/freeze mode. And if you’ve experienced any of those reactions, you know that shifting into and out of fight/flight/freeze mode is incredibly exhausting and drains your energy.
The human brain isn’t actually good at compartmentalizing only one emotion but not the others. When you block yourself off from grief, you also block yourself off from love and openness. You block yourself from the emotions where you find your transformation into more purpose, meaning, or a new perspective.
It is time to shift from society’s ‘what do you do’ framing of identity into a more authentic, deeper you. So come spend an hour with me and others, as we learn about our grief and the power of transformation it holds.
