Thank you for your beautiful share, Laia. I initially found you on Elephant Journal and have followed you here on Substack. I love that you raise this question because many of us are conditioned to identify with what we do professionally, as if we were nothing without a job. I am currently taking a career break and it has taken me some time to redefine my identity (and also realise how much I don't know about myself!) These days I describe myself as a living paradox and here is a snippet of who I am: Grew up in a traditional Chinese family and have chosen to live life unconventionally away from societal expectations. Used to live in shame because of my hard of hearing and have now turned it into my superpower. Trained as a methodical pharmacist and also trust the infinite power of energy, spirits and stars. Sending you love and light! 💛☀️🌟🌈
