Describe yourself? Who are you? Are you just your titles?

That's a question for men and for women, how do you describe yourself? What do you say when people ask you who you are or tell me about you? Let's say you swell

I'm kind of getting stuck here now, but there's a lot of titles, and after so long, you kind of get stuck. But if I was to go through everything, I could definitely put a lot more than that. But that's just where I'm going to begin. I will say that all of the titles that I've had, the many titles I'm a daughter, I was a caregiver. You can go on and on. I'm a parent

Those are the things that people can't see from the outside, right? They'd have to talk to you or to somebody else to get that. And that's what I was talking about. And I didn't even say those things about me like the ones that people can't see. But, yeah, I was just thinking this morning, and I was like, I'm so much more than what people see on the outside. I'm so much more than what people think I am

That's what I do. That's not who I am. Yes, I am an aunt to my niece and nephew. I'm a daughter to my parents, I'm a sister to my sister. I might be a sister to other ladies as well, a friend to other people, but these are the things that I do, not who I am. So I don't lead with what I do. I lead with who I am. Who is Tanya? Tanya is funny

I just happen to be not tasked, but gifted in that area. And so God uses me at my church in that area. But, yeah, there's so much more to me. I believe I have a great sense of humor. I love to smile. I love to laugh. I absolutely love to laugh. And I'm like you. I laugh at stuff that I probably shouldn't laugh at, but I laugh at it anyway

You know what I mean? So if you on my best day, I'm the very definition of male. If on my worst day I can be a lot of things and I know I can be them because I've been them before. All the good stuff now is new for me. The bad stuff is something that I experienced and I can say that that used to be me. But most of all

But I appreciate your insight and I appreciate your journey that you're taking to yourself. I hear in your swells and that's what it's about, right? That's what this well was about. It wasn't necessarily about what titles you have, but what is on the inside of you that people can't see, right. That people don't maybe not notice about you by just looking at you or by hearing somebody talk about you. But I hear that you're a giver

That's why I really like my home to look really nice because I'm a homebody person. I do go out, but when I say homebody, I don't hang out, I don't do clubs, I don't do bars, I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't get hot, so I'm not into that type of life. I'm going to say charismatic

Just kind of looking at yourself and getting beyond the titles that people have put on us and just thinking about who you are as a person, the good and the bad, right? You listed some bad things. You said you're vindictive, but knowing that right? Knowing that and so knowing the good and the bad about you, first of all, you can be more aware of the situations that you put yourself in and what the outcomes could be, right?

It's a part of who they are. Mike singers or dancers or, you know, full time novelists. You know, it it is a part of who they are. But, yeah, we're we're definitely more than that. This was a great question to explore. Thank you so much for posing it. And it seems like there's really no cut and dry answer, just our different experiences on how we answer. So thank you again for this

So thank you for your reply. I appreciate it. And yes, I do know that, just with me being I'm a recruiter and so I stay at home. And so we do a lot of meetings virtually and in talking to different ones and trying to pull different things out of my team, because I used to be a team lead, so I used to run fun meetings where we would just talk about ourselves and try to have some fun
