The Identity Trap
It is easy to let achievement become part of your identity.
In this episode of Unproduced, I reflect on the identity trap, the danger of attaching self-worth to achievement, and why every slow season can start to feel personal when your work becomes too connected to who you are.
Because you can care deeply about what you build without letting it define your entire worth.
