While there are countless time management methods that claim to be the perfect solution, the truth is there is no “one size fits all” answer. However, there are a few things that can help! Especially when you suck at managing your time and all other methods have failed.

Ask Laura Moss what she’s passionate about, and she’ll tell you “I’m passionate about shifting the diet culture AWAY from the outdated science of calories in/calories out, restriction, and punishing exercise and TOWARD empowering women to bring awareness to the relationships they have with their bodies, with food, and with movement in order to make healing, nourishing choices for themselves.”

I’ve had the wonderful honor of helping Laura grow her business and I can’t wait for you to meet her in this episode!

Let’s chat today about identity and self worth and what happens when we find  our identity in our jobs. 

What does identity mean? It’s a noun meaning the act of being oneself and not someone else. A person’s individuality, character, name, personality, etc. 

If you find yourself full of fear and performance based thinking about your job you might have your identity tied too closely to your title. 

2 questions to ask yourself: 

1. What am I passionate or curious about outside of work? 
2. What do I bring to the world, my own unique identity, besides my job skills. 

You are not your job. You are so much more than that! 

With love and moxie,
