#240 - You Are So Much More Than Doctor

Tarryn MacCarthy
About this episode

Since time immemorial, people have always associated self-worth in conjunction with their job. Whether it was because of how our society views certain positions or because of pride, people made sure to get a job that they would be proud to identify with. Until they unknowingly attach their position to their selves and identify as such. “I am my job.” But the truth is, you’re not just your title. Today Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy talks about the importance of not letting your profession define who you are. Because you are more than what you are known for. Reducing yourself to any single characteristic, whether it be your title or your job performance, is a deeply damaging act. So explore your facets and learn more about yourself; you’ll be surprised by what you’ll find.
