210: [UNICORN] You Are More Than a PA; You Are a Person Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

Becoming a PA is an all-consuming quest. But it can cause us to wrap up our identity in our career and forget about who we are as human beings. How do you define yourself? Do you have an identity outside of your job?

Press play on this episode to hear from my dear friend, Brie Marks, on how it can be easy to lose yourself in your career. And when life happens and jobs change, how do you define yourself? Brie discusses how she has navigated her decade-long PA career, including bouncing back after she left what she thought would be her dream job.

As PAs, we have been called to medicine and caring for patients. But our worth is not solely defined by our careers. We are whole people outside of medicine that deserve fulfillment.
