In this episode of 'A Thought I Kept,' host Claire Fitzsimmons talks with her friend Irena Meštrović Štajduhar about redefining the concept of strengths.

Irena, based in Croatia, is a life observer who shares insights on how traditional metrics of success often lead to burnout and disconnection. They delve into Marcus Buckingham's idea that true strengths are activities that bring joy, and discuss how personality tests can sometimes limit us.

This conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing and nurturing personal passions, even if they are not conventionally acknowledged as strengths, and the idea of 'internalized capitalism.'

The episode concludes with reflections on how reclaiming joy and love in one's work can create a meaningful and fulfilling life.
