Growing up, most of us will remember being asked what we want to be when we grow up, rather than who we want to be, conditioning us to base our identity on what we do rather than who we truly are and what we value. But focusing solely on achievement and prestige can lead you down a path of isolation that ultimately doesn't provide you with any of the happiness and satisfaction you thought it would. This was the position that today’s guest, Jordana Confino, found herself in. She had spent years tenaciously pursuing a prestigious law career, earning awards, and excelling at elite institutions, all while wrestling with intensifying feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and unhappiness. It was only once she decided to pursue therapy that she realized what her true values were and that she was living and working in direct opposition to them. This prompted her to learn everything she could about the principles of positive psychology and human motivation theory which she has used to transform her life and bring her career and personal life into alignment with her values.  In our conversation, Jordana reflects on her journey of self-discovery, the lessons she has learned along the way, and why she still feels she has a long way to go. She describes the challenging moments that propelled her to become an overachiever, why she felt a need to exert control over whatever she could, and how she realized that none of the achievements she was chasing would ever make her feel worthy enough. Our conversation also delves into what it means to cultivate feelings of self-worth and how you can improve your relationship with yourself before providing a gentle reminder that none of this can be attained overnight. Jordana has walked an incredible path and continues to do so. As a law school dean and life coach, she is embodying her values of love, connection, and authenticity by helping others find alignment, flourish, and get out of their own way so they can live the life that they want — not the one that they think they should!
