In this episode of Career Strategies, Byron Veasey kicks off the five-part series The Emotional Recovery of the Job Search with Part 1: The Identity Crisis of Overwork — a powerful look at what happens when your job quietly becomes your entire identity. Byron unpacks how overachievement and constant productivity can erase your sense of self, why rest starts to feel like failure, and how to begin reclaiming the person you were before burnout took over. Through real stories and practical reflection prompts, this episode guides you to separate your worth from your work and rediscover joy beyond deliverables. If you’ve ever struggled to define yourself without your title, this conversation will help you find your way back to balance, clarity, and confidence.
