Built For Meaning
Built for Meaning is a podcast about the psychology of identity, belonging, and the lifelong search for meaning.
Hosted by Stephanie Jiroch, researcher, strategist, and creator of the Donor Identity Framework™, each episode explores why humans do what they do—from the communities we join and the causes we support to the brands we love, the identities we create, and the stories we tell ourselves.
Drawing from behavioral psychology, media psychology, consumer behavior, and real-world research, Built for Meaning uncovers the hidden forces shaping how we connect, contribute, and become.
If you've ever wondered why people stay loyal, why communities thrive, or what truly gives life meaning, you're in the right place.

Ep. #55: Stop Pretending, Unleash Your Potential and Craft An Authentic Story
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
For high-achieving and high-performing women, we are often conditioned to project a certain image to the world. For many that might be a mask of perfection, constantly striving to meet the expectations of those around us. For others, it might be the “fake it till you make it” experience of hustle and grind energy. And usually, we seek success, wealth, and recognition, often at the expense of our own well-being, fulfillment and soul-level desires.
In today's episode, I'm asking two very important questions as we begin to craft (and live) your authentic story.
