Thank you for sharing this! I’ve been feeling some tension around how people perceive me as well as my professional background and training (I’m an RN) vs. some identities/activities I want to lean into and share with others- like astrology and tarot. It feels like one might de-legitimize the other but I think it’s likely a narrative that exists mostly in my head.
As we get older, we care less of what others think. I have empathy, but I can disregard whatever I feel is not important to me.
Wisdom and experience are powerful. Thanks for sharing Paul!

So glad this was helpful Mariah! It’s always a strange feeling when we feel like we have 2 separate identities.
