Work Addiction: A Silent Struggle

Today in California, with perfect weather and endless possibilities, I find myself trapped in a cycle of work addiction. Despite the beautiful day, I’m focused on completing a project instead of spending time with my family or taking care of myself. Work addiction, like any other, is a compulsive behavior that negatively impacts your health, relationships, and well-being. Over time, it leads to burnout and missed moments with loved ones. To break this cycle, I’m committing to a balanced approach—prioritizing my health, family, and personal time.

Responding To “Who Are You?”

In the pursuit of self-discovery, women often find themselves navigating through layers of societal roles and expectations. From being defined by family titles to taking on multiple responsibilities, it can be easy to lose sight of who we truly are beyond these external labels. The question “Who are you?” frequently triggers responses tied to what we do—mother, wife, professional—leaving the core of our identity untouched. This tendency can fuel feelings of imposter syndrome, as we measure ourselves against societal standards or compare ourselves to others.

However, the journey toward a deeper understanding of self requires intentional moments of reflection, away from the roles we play and the demands of daily life. By carving out time for introspection, engaging in activities that bring joy, and seeking support through therapy or coaching, women can uncover their true essence. Redefining identity is a process that empowers us to see ourselves beyond expectations and embrace a life driven by authenticity and purpose. Instead of relying on titles, we can learn to define ourselves with clarity, grounded in our passions, values, and unique experiences. This exploration of self leads to a more fulfilling, empowered existence, where our worth is no longer measured by what we do, but by who we are.
