So many of us build our identity around what we do.In this episode of On Pivoting, I sit down with Thapelo Masebe for a reflective conversation about identity beyond titles, productivity, and ambition.We explore what happens when work stops defining you, how worth gets entangled with output, and the quiet process of becoming someone new when old identities no longer fit.This is a conversation for anyone questioning who they are beneath the job and what it means to choose differently.
