When Work Becomes Your Identity (Solo Episode)
In this episode, we’re diving into the concept of “workism” and the effects of work on our personal identities. In America, we’ve created an idea that the meaning of life should be found in work, but is that truly the case? The dangers of associating self-worth and identity with a job can result in insecurities, anxiety and inevitable burnout. We talk about how not every passion needs to be a career, and the importance of setting boundaries in the workplace.
We also touch upon:
Moving past the mindset of “hustle culture”
Who are we without our jobs?
How the entertainment industry promotes the idea of workism
Challenges amongst the millennial workforce

Customer Reviews
A pugtastic podcast
Doug + Noodle + amazing pug loving humans = a dream come true! What a wonderful story of how Jonathan came to love pugs, meet Doug and adopt Noodle. I too have loved pugs since I was a teenager and have been an avid fan of Doug’s for many years. I didn’t know or realize the downside of social media fame especially when it comes on so quickly. Good reminders of the importance of self care and making sure to make/take the time for your own mental health and well being. Can’t wait for Noodles new book - I’ve preordered it with a pawtograph 🐾 With lots of love and pug hugs - Kate and her 13.5 year old pug Peaches 💜
Amazing podcast!
Haha red is very similar to @babyluna_0 she is so energetic and plays so aggressive with me at home ❤️ also never thought how hard it could be to manage an account that has blown up with in a short period of time.
They Dove In
Whether you’re a fan of Doug the Pug, cheese plates, or entrepreneurial-curious - this is a great first podcast.
They did a great job pulling back the veil of how they found their way to their present careers.
The podcast feels like you’re just hanging out with a group of friends.
The women make you feel like you can have a creative career that you love too. I look forward to their upcoming podcasts.
