In this insightful solo episode, Laura shares insights from her own journey and her experience with working with Black women leaders on the topic of separating our identity and worth from our achievements.

She vulnerably shares her story and growth points on doing her heart work in this area.  Additionally, Laura provides her perspective on signs that this may be a challenge for you, sources of where this challenge may have come from, the (necessary) identity crises we may experience along the journey, and support strategies to help you as you do your work to untangle your identify and worth from your work and accomplishments.

Laura stresses that while being ambitious and goal-driven are honorable traits, harm can occur when we start to equate our professional outcomes with WHO we are.  

Take some time to reflect with Laura in this episode as she affirms you and reminds you that your worthiness is not earned.  You are worthy simply because you exist.
