Season 3 · Ep 92
About this episode
Today, we’re talking about why changing yourself to fit in at work is quietly killing your career growth — and what to do instead.
Because here’s the truth: most people have two versions of themselves — their work self and their real self.
And while it might seem harmless, that gap between the two is exactly what’s leaving you tired, disconnected, and holding back your best work.
Inside this episode, we dive into:
The real reason people switch into ‘work mode’ — and why it’s costing them more than they realise
The three ways changing yourself to fit in is sabotaging your career (and confidence)
What happens when you start showing up as your youest you — even if it feels uncomfortable at first
Three practical ways to bring more of you into work (and perform even better because of it)
If you’ve ever felt like you have to tone it down, play a role, or wear your “professional” mask just to survive the workday — this one’s for you.
It’s time to stop performing and start showing up. Because your real self is exactly what your career needs next.
