Who Are You Outside of Work? Rashidat Odeyemi on Dreaming Again When Work Has Eaten That Part of You

Dela

You've spent so many years working hard at the next thing that you can't actually answer a simple question. If you didn't have to worry about money, what would you do?

Most of the women I coach freeze on that one. They've spent so long defining themselves by their job, their level, and their next promotion that they've forgotten what they used to dream about, or whether they ever knew.


In this episode, I'm sitting down with Rashidat Odeyemi, a Lifestyle Coach and Rest Mindset Mentor who left a corporate fashion career, traveled to fifteen countries to figure out who she actually was outside her job title, and now coaches women on building lives where work isn't the only thing that's alive in them. We get into how to dream again when work has eaten that part of you, why women set deadlines on their dreams that quietly kill them, and how to find the three things you'd actually die on a hill for.


What we talk about:

  • The question that froze Rashidat in place, and the year of travel it took to answer it
  • Why "who am I outside of work?" is the question women in tech aren't asking, and how to start
  • The blind spot that's actually a gift, and why you need other people to mirror it back to you
  • How to focus on one cup at a time when you have ten ideas all begging for water
  • Why putting a deadline on your dream is the surest way to kill it
  • The "three hills you'd die on" exercise for finding your message
