70. Your Identity Isn't Your Job Title: Burnout, People-Pleasing, and Redefining Success (with Morgan Wilson)

<p>&quot;My identity should not be held in my job and my job title.&quot; Morgan Wilson</p><p>What happens to your sense of self when the job you built your identity around disappears overnight?</p><p>After nearly a decade in legal recruiting, Morgan Wilson was let go, and everything she thought defined her went with it. In this episode she shares the burnout and Sunday-night dread that came first, the six months of inner work that helped her separate her worth from her title, and how she rebuilt a definition of success that comes from the inside out.</p><p>We talk about the people-pleasing and over-functioning patterns that keep high performers over-giving, how to set boundaries inside high-pressure cultures, why women so often hold back from asking for what they need, and how to tell the difference between running from a job and moving toward something real. Morgan also shares a grounded, practical way to think about AI and career disruption instead of freezing in fear.</p><p>If you&#39;ve tied who you are to what you do, and you&#39;re quietly burnt out underneath it, this one is for you.</p><p><strong>Connect with Morgan WilsonWebsite: </strong><a href="https://www.thewilson.co" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.thewilson.co</a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/morganwilsonco" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/in/morganwilsonco</a></p><p><strong>Work with Fiona Walsh:</strong></p><p>Explore coaching, somatic recalibration, and resources for high performers ready to lead from clarity and nervous system safety:</p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.fionawalsh.co" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.fionawalsh.co</a></p><p>1:1 Coaching &amp; Breakthrough Sessions: <a href="https://www.fionawalsh.co/work-with-me" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.fionawalsh.co/work-with-me</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fionawalshcoaching" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/fionawalshcoaching</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/fiona-walsh-coach" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/in/fiona-walsh-coach</a></p><p>Email: <a href="mailto:fiona@fionawalshconsulting.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">fiona@fionawalshconsulting.com</a></p><p>If this episode gave you clarity or a moment of relief, follow Limitless and leave a rating.
