Who Are You When You're Not Working?

What are your hobbies, your passions, your dreams? What is your plan to be your best you? It’s an uncomfortable question and for many business owners, the answer feels fuzzy. And that’s not a failure… it’s simply what happens when your work slowly becomes your entire ecosystem.

Networking events replace dinner plans. Client meetings double as social time. Conversations revolve around strategy, growth, and what’s next. And listen, professional relationships are meaningful, but when everyone in your life knows you primarily for what you do, it gets harder to remember who you are without the title.

That blurring can erode your sense of self. When your business and your identity are intertwined, rest starts to feel uncomfortable. Who am I resting from if this is just who I am? Who am I without momentum? But rest isn’t the absence of ambition. It’s the space where your nervous system settles and your perspective returns.

You need people in your life who don’t care what you do for a living. People who know your laugh, your weird habits, your off-days, and not your elevator pitch.

This is your reminder that you’re allowed to enjoy your life without producing, selling, or proving anything. And that reminder is essential when your work world is also your social world.

It’s about remembering that your business is one part of your life, not the lens through which everything else must be filtered.

So get out there. Have a self-worth strategy session. Remember who you are and decide to chase that this year.

It’s About Time!
