The Power of Self-Fidelity: How to Be True to Yourself and Thrive Professionally - with Author Cassandra Goodman (Ep 59)

Cassandra Goodman has defined self-fidelity as the practice of being true to yourself. And she wants us to cultivate the capacity to be faithful to our true, essential nature. She says, “We have already addressed self-compassion, self-love, so why not self-fidelity and being faithful to ourselves?”. This idea that we can reconnect with our own nature and rebuild the faith in ourselves can be a wonderful exploration to professionals who are job hunting or reflecting on the next steps to take with their careers.  So, I invited Cassandra for a chat about her new book, Self-Fidelity, which inspired me so much in 2020.  I believe it’s a must-read for job hunters.
