I am 28 and currently unemployed after leaving a toxic job in February that was causing me panic attacks everyday. I have always been career driven so being unemployed for months with no direction of what I want to do with my career is really bringing me down.
But intellectually, I understand that defining our self-worth through our careers is just a capitalist trap. I have amazing friends, I live in a fun city, I’m dating an amazing man and I get to travel a lot. This should be enough!!!
Yet, I feel like such a failure for not making use of my degree, having barely any savings left and having no idea what I want to do with my career long term.
What advice, books, podcast etc. helped you to switch your mindset about equating self worth with work?!
