Read excerpt
What happens when meaningful work becomes so central to your identity that it begins to ask too much of you? In this episode, I speak with Sita Sargeant about building She Shapes History, the power of recovering stories that have been pushed to the margins, and the difference between treating work as a job, a career or a calling. We also explore the loneliness of leadership, the tension between purpose and overwork, and why a meaningful life must ultimately be larger than our work. Sita Sargeant
