Stop Roleplaying In Your Own Life | Dare To Become With Jonathan Cave
What happens when the role you're playing on the outside stops matching who you actually are underneath it?
On this episode of Work Is Third, Dawn Hunter talks with Jonathan Cave about daring to become that person instead. Jonathan is the author of The Tree and the Mountain – Dare to Become where he shares his journey to redefine himself.
Jonathan was a partner in a prestigious Geneva law firm, outwardly successful yet inwardly drained, restless and unable to enjoy the life he had worked so hard to create. Determined to bridge that gap, Jonathan turned inward, asking himself who he truly was, what mattered most and why he was chasing so hard.
They also unpack why "work-life balance" may be the wrong goal entirely, and the simple daily practices that can help you overcome imposter syndrome.
