Solo Episode: How Slowing Down and an Unusual Journal Prompt Helped Me Redefine my Corporate and Entreprenurial Identities

Tiffany Olszuk Season 1 Episode 11

In this vulnerable solo episode, I share a powerful moment of reflection that emerged on a rainy, overcast day, when my plans unraveled and I finally paused to pour into myself. After a hectic morning of back-to-back meetings and emotional exhaustion, I reached for my journal…and what came through shifted everything.

I walk you through a journal prompt that I borrowed from a personal development program that I’m in. It was an exercise that I honestly was afraid of at first, but it ultimately revealed deeper layers of clarity about my past corporate experience, current entrepreneurial journey, and permission to integrate the two. Through writing, I realized I’d been carrying old identities and outdated definitions of success that no longer fit the life and work I’m building now.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with who you are becoming—without needing to erase who you’ve been.

In This Episode, I Talk About:

  • Reframing my corporate past as a foundation, not an identity associated with burnout
  • How 10 minutes of journaling helped me process burnout and career transitions and pave a positive path forward
  • Why you don’t have to choose between structure and creativity in your work
