We unpack what happens when your public persona begins to replace who you really are. The conversation moves through identity, storytelling, mental health, and the pressure of always being “on.”We also examine why impact matters more than attention, and why choosing meaning over ego is essential in today’s creative world.“Impact is humanity.”You can find all episodes of @Wellness_OnTheRocks on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Podcasts.All episodes of Wellness On The Rocks are hosted and independently produced by bartender @TaylorRedmondMcQuade.
