When someone says “tell me about yourself”, we often lead with our careers, titles, and accolades. But who you are goes way beyond job titles and accomplishments. Knowing the difference between who you are vs what you do can influence how we see ourselves and how we show up in the world. Join Meaux and her guest, the insightful Amanda Milligan—friend, marketer, and mental health advocate—for a heartfelt conversation about separating your identity from your career, and navigating the journey of self-discovery and mental health.

Key Takeaways:
  • "Tell me about yourself" often triggers a default response of sharing professional accomplishments. But your identity should be rooted in much more.
  • The distinction between who you are and what you do is crucial. It shapes your self-perception and how you engage with the world.
  • Mental health is wealth and you are not defined by your diagnosis.

Tune in as Meaux and Amanda share their candid stories, insights, and strategies for discovering your authentic self and navigating the complexities of mental health. Remember, your identity isn't confined to your accomplishments. Hit that subscribe button and embark on a journey of redefining self-worth, embracing authenticity, and navigating mental well-being.
