Your Feelings Are Not Your Identity

from The Playbook · host David Meltzer, Entrepreneur.com

In today’s episode, I sit down with Claude Silver, Chief Heart Officer at VaynerX and author of Be Yourself at Work, to talk about emotional awareness and what it really means to show up authentically. We discuss why feelings should be treated as information instead of identity, and how recognizing them quickly can improve clarity and action. Claude shares the moment that helped her break patterns of self-sabotage and take ownership of her mindset. We also get into a candid conversation about authenticity in the workplace, exploring how to balance being yourself with maintaining boundaries and building stronger connections with the people around you.
