We unpack why tying your identity to your job makes you fragile, especially as AI speeds up role change and redundancy. We share how to build a more fluid sense of self so you can pivot without losing confidence or peace.
• a single line that reframes job identity as risk
• how high-achieving women get rewarded into identity fusion
• the hidden costs of overwork and never switching off
• why AI exposure can hit older, educated, higher paid women
• what redundancy triggers: grief, over-responsibility, loss of confidence
• why more qualifications are not the real fix
• building a fluid identity by shedding labels and conditioning
• the must-have skill for the future: adapting without panic

The Balance & Beyond Podcast Hosted by Jo Stone, founder of The Balance Institute

For women who are already succeeding, but beginning to wonder if they're willing to keep losing themselves in the process.

We know high achievers, because we are one. This podcast draws on Jo's 20 years in global leadership and thousands of hours coaching executives and ambitious women: the patterns she sees, how to untangle them, and what it actually takes to keep your success without paying for it with yourself.

If something landed today, there's more where that came from.

And if you know a woman this would resonate with, send it her way.
