Have you ever poured yourself into a role — parenting, leading, building your business, or climbing your career ladder — only to wake up one day and realize the role has shifted and the room now feels quiet?That’s when the real questions rise up:💭 Am I still valuable? What’s next for me? Who am I without the title? What’s my pivot?If you’ve wrestled with these questions, this episode of Beyond the Title is for you. I share three powerful lessons from Benjamin Hardy’s book Be Your Future Self Now. These ideas have shaped my life transitions as both a full-time entrepreneur and a new empty-nester — and they’ll give you practical steps to build a future that’s not only successful, but also joyful.Key lesson: Identity is shaped by action. As Hardy says, “Your future self is not something you discover; it’s something you decide and build, starting now.”------------------------------------------------------------------------🤝 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 “𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲” 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮, 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮 Connect with women leaders, exchange ideas, and grow your influence.
