Identity Crises - When we let a role become our essence

In this epsiode I have a guest, Mirjam Johansson Grant, and we share openly around the crises that often comes when we lose a job, a partner or someone dies.Why do we mix up a role with who we are in our essence, and why can it totally swipe us off our feet?If we equal who we are with the role as parent, employee, friend, boss etc, we tend to lose more than the job or partner when it happens, we lose ourselves.
