In this video, we'll talk about what you should and shouldn't share in your personal brand and 3 guidelines that I follow to strike the balance between being personal and professional online.

    Nothing wrong with liking multiple things. It gives you broader perspective. The question that matters is what problems are you going to solve with all of that perspective? Multiple perspectives + unique solution = great career. But many people go in different directions because they're afraid of making the wrong decision. They second guess themselves because of anxiety. Not because they're being intentional about gaining more perspective on a single problem. If you're jumping around from thing to thing with no commitment to any of them there's a deeper question you need to answer. You don't know who you are. Answer that before you pick the next topic to jump into.

    It's J; Hi Joann. I was moved to respond to your post after I was searching for information on building a brand and found your podcast and ended up at this video. I believe that I was meant to view your broadcast about your story. It has so much in common with my own experience of a deep childhood wound. You said that you desire to help others in their journey that may be like your own. Have you ever considered that someone else may have experienced a journey similar to your own and shares your struggle ? If I may, I would like to share the effect of a childhood experience that for a long time I did not realize how deeply it had affected me . To be brief, I suffered a mother-son wound that made me feel a certain way about myself and since I was stuck with the same mother it affected how I viewed myself at a deep level that became ingrained in my psyche. Other people responded to me from the way that I presented self to the world. As long as I held on to the wound that made me feel a certain way other people picked up on it and identified me with the feeling that I gave off about myself. I disliked the treatment I received from other kids, teachers and as an adult was targeted by strangers. I was determined to get to the bottom of the vicious inner circle of my lived experience that cramped my personality and held me back from growing. It took a while; but eventually I realized that the more I held on to what my mother had 'taught' me my life would continue going in the same vicious circles. It took courage to confront what was most familiar to me and to let go of what I had held on to for most of my life was what I had identified with. I did not realize that I was also releasing the toxicity from the resentment I had been carrying in my body since childhood. But once I let go of it it was if a burden was lifted from me and I had the most wonderful feeling of freedom. There was residual toxicity from the negativity that I had been holding on to and the previous vicious circles that tormented me to self sabotage have since continually diminished becoming only benign. Only a faint unpleasant impression remains from having internalized the insecurity and inadequacies of my mother. I have since learned to grieve the loss of holding on to my false need and instead to give myself grace as you so aptly described. Occasionally I encounter unscrupulous people who attempt to instigate a negative reaction from what they mistakenly perceive as part of my present personality but actually is now just a residual impression from the past. But thankfully, I no longer react to what I no longer identify with; not even a 'little.' I can truly see the beauty in you and hope you can receive my message with my best regards for your willingness to share the most personal part of you.

    I remember in fourth grade I was taking a walk with my best friend in school and one of my classmates spotted me with her and told my friend “why are you hanging out with her, her voice is so weird” I can’t lie I was so hurt by those words that now I’m a senior and still can’t get past this, the best friend I was walking with left me two weeks maybe after that conversation. Again in tenth grade one of my class mates asked me if I talk by my nose I acted as if I didn’t hear her but my friend whispered to her and told her that I’m insecure about my voice she was understandable but I really don’t get why people ask questions like these cause they can really effect others and hurt them Even my brother makes fun of my voice, I do find it weird too because no one sounds like me I searched everywhere and yet I’m the only one with this voice I really hope when I get braces it kind of fixes it.

  • @ladybug4499
    @ladybug4499 4 місяці тому

    Thank you so much for speaking on this. I've looked for more women who feel like this many times over the internet but never could find them. I've always been a painfully shy girl growing up due to bad experiences. I still am a little shy due to it and find it awkward to make conversation with other people. It's rare for me to fully feel confident in myself. I even went completely mute for a couple of years while I was a teenager and now that I'm almost 22, I find that many people think I sound way younger, like a 12 year old and because I grew up with a mom who is coloured and a dad who is indian, my accent is very mixed. I don't like the way I pronounce certain words, I feel like other girls have a certain melody to their voice almost like a rhythm where mine just falls flat. My voice even cracks sometimes because I'm so unused to using it and my tongue feels heavy and clumsy in my mouth when I try to speak. I too got mocked at for sounding like a child and I've been aware of the sound and reaction of my voice since I was a child. I'd avoid sending voice notes altogether but once a guy I really liked requested one and so I sent it and immediately his feelings changed towards me because he started to roast me and wasn't so attracted to me anymore. Over time he actually started to like me and wanted to video or phone call but I never could let that first instance go. It made me so insecure that every time he tried to confess his feelings towards me I would ghost him until it all got too much and I eventually blocked him-all because I started to think it unbelievable for a man like him to like a girl like me. A guy before that even ghosted me after I had sent him a pic of me and that was at a time I didn't know how to even take any. We'd been speaking for years over text but just my pic and voice note alone made him feel completely different towards me too. That is why I don't like my voice. It's not attractive. I'm insecure about my accent as well because a lot of the times people will think I'm just TRYING to sound a certain race when it's true that I am a mix of both. I've been gaming since high school and even on there, it only amplifies my insecurity with my voice because a lot of the well known girls on there sound beautiful, feminine and elegant and it's amazing how differently a person will treat you based on how you sound. I know this because I am guilty of it too. I no longer trust men or their intentions towards me because in so many instances I gave my all into these people but because of my voice not being that attractive or myself not following trends like every other girl in our society, has lead me to be taken advantage of, humiliated and disregarded. I've been wanting to change my voice for a long time now but every year it just feels unnatural to speak like somebody else. I feel like a fraud trying so hard to fit whereas some girls naturally just sound beautiful and mature. What do you think I should do about it?

    I don’t know about your office but I know that about 95% of Arch firms, pay a mediocre salary = can’t afford to buy a home and is less likely to start a family. ¿ Who wants to be a slave “free over time” ? All that sacrifice to get nothing in return. The worst part is you study a career wish the duty is to “design,crate” but when you work for an arch firm. You are not the designer, this means is not your project and creation= zero satisfaction. Imagine having a “professional job” that is required to work as a slave and yet you can afford a house or family and gets worst because you end up disconnected of your profession = doing the boring stuff. Imagine a plastic surgeon got a job but he’s task is to clean the tools nothing more 😂😂
