Self-Worth in Times of Chaos
How do people keep going in times of rupture, when life stops following the rules?
Through honest, unhurried conversations with people who have faced redundancy, burnout, health challenges, loss, financial strain, career disruption, and major life transitions, the podcast explores what sustains us when confidence, success and certainty fall away.
This is not about positive thinking or quick fixes. It is about the deeper fuel of self-worth — the inner source of dignity, energy, and resilience that allows people to live, work, and relate with clarity and humanity in chaotic times.
Each episode invites reflection on how living from self-worth cultivates both hope and strength — the kind that endures when outcomes, roles, and approval can no longer carry us.

Building a Professional Identity in Scientific and Engineering Worlds
In this series on “Inspiring Identities” we look at how some real people have established themselves in the marketplace.
You can build a Professional Identity in many ways. My guest today is James McNally, who has build a very specific professional identity by developing high-quality measurement systems to demonstrate and validate systems in scientific and engineering R&D.
In this conversation, we explore how James differentiates his services from a host of others LabVIEW consultants; how his clients find him and how he sees his professional identity. We also explore some of the self-worth challenges along the way and how James sees himself today.
