We’re more than our résumés. Yet it’s easy to let titles, salaries, and status define who we are. In this conversation, Jamie and Max explore the cultural scripts that tie identity to employment—and offer simple practices to expand your self-definition with curiosity and kindness.
Highlights:
Language shifts that reduce “work” baggage (try contribution, practice, craft, service, calling, flow, making).
Three reflection prompts to meet yourself beyond the paycheck.
A playful Calling Card 2.0 you can hand out to spark real connection—human first, role second.
Redefining success through creativity, resilience, community, and joy, not just recognition and rank.
Why integration beats “work/life separation,” and how permission helps you rebalance across seasons.
Walk away with practical words, tiny experiments, and a kinder inner script: you are a whole human—your job is just one part of your story.
