#9 Discovering My Identity with Carissa Karban

In this episode, we talk to Carissa Karban. She identifies as a walking paradox and proud weirdo, who loves discussions about humanity. Carissa lives near Denver, CO in the US. Carissa describes sitting on a comma with purpose in her life. As someone who is doing the deep work of personal transformation, she talks about what it’s like to live with great awareness and the the questioning that comes with it. Carissa talks about what it’s like to show up with love in a society that strives to keep this out of the workplace. She shares with us the micro and macro impacts of speaking up for herself… and how an appreciation for fire can reveal insights into how we show up in the world. Tune in to hear Carissa’s perspectives on changing the system, one self at a time. You can find Carissa on:    Her Website: www.carissakarban.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carissakarban/ Instagram: @carissakarban https://www.instagram.com/carissakarban/Carissa would like to acknowledge the following who matter to her and invite you to consider exploring and/or sharing their messages:Brene Brown https://brenebrown.com Brene is a researcher, storyteller, and (currently enraged) Texan who’s spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy.Todd Rose http://www.toddrose.com/books Todd is an author of books such as “Collective Illusions” and “The End of Average”.
