What happens when your job title fades and you’re no longer the go-to HR guru? Who are you then?

Ever felt like your whole identity is wrapped up in your job title? In this episode, I talk about the messy truth about identity in HR. From burnout to belonging, and from Cambodia to corporate Australia, I share what I’ve learned about separating self-worth from work ethic, and why that matters more than ever in our profession.

I discuss what makes identity in the workplace so powerful and so risky, including the bonds that shape who we are at work and how HR professionals often lose sight of their own purpose. There’s a deep cost when performance becomes a proxy for value, and I’ve lived it.

This episode is a call to rethink who we are in HR, not just as fixers and compliance officers, but as truth-tellers, bridge builders and culture architects. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your role or unsure where you truly belong, this one’s for you.

So, who are you really, without the title, the inbox, the org chart?

I'd love to hear from you:

How do you define yourself at work?

What would you do if your job disappeared tomorrow?

Have you ever felt lost in your role as an HR professional?
