Join us as we discuss:

Who am I outside of work? Our conversation explores this universal struggle to separate personal identity from professional accomplishments. Gentrix candidly shares how she missed countless family milestones while working "weekend overnights" in the relentless grind of media production. The layoff, initially devastating, ultimately offered her the gift of reconsidering priorities that eight years of hustle culture had obscured.
Her story resonates with anyone who's experienced career upheaval or questioned their life's direction. Through launching her podcast "Outside of Work," Gentrix begins reclaiming neglected relationships and discovering opportunities beyond her narrow professional focus. "I had blinders on like a racehorse, but now they're off – anything is possible." From starting a notary business to contemplating entrepreneurship in her native Kenya, Gentrick demonstrates how career disruption often reveals possibilities previously invisible to us.
Whether you're facing job loss, retirement, empty nesting, or simply questioning your life's trajectory, this episode offers valuable perspective on defining yourself beyond your titles. Join us for this powerful conversation about identity, priorities, and discovering that sometimes, as Shari puts it, "We allow good to stop us from becoming great."
