37. What Do You Do?: Crafting Your Identity

Have you ever stumbled when someone asks "What do you do?" That seemingly simple question often leaves us fumbling for words, underselling our value, or rambling without clarity. After attending a powerful female entrepreneurship conference in New York City, I'm sharing a perspective-shifting approach to answering this question in a way that truly captures your essence and impact.As a multi-passionate creative who's navigated various professional identities, I understand the complexity of defining yourself when you don't fit neatly into one box. Many of us feel pressure to present ourselves as "pure entrepreneurs" or downplay certain aspects of our professional lives due to perceived judgment.My non-linear path has taught me that there's no shame in creating a professional identity that combines entrepreneurial ventures with traditional employment if that arrangement creates a life you find fulfilling.  What matters isn't whether whether you're building an authentic life aligned with your values. When someone asks what you do, start with "I help..." followed by who you help and what transformation you facilitate. This immediately shifts focus from your title to your impact. Download my free 5-minute pre-workout ritual guide through the link in the show notes, and share how you answer this question by reaching out!Send us Fan MailIf you want the deeper lessons behind strength training, join my newsletter called Between Reps: Building the Unbreakable Woman.
