Who am I?
What am I going to do?
What will my life look like?
These are questions that students are naturally asking themselves as they graduate high school or college, but they're also questions that all of the rest of us are asking ourselves, too.
I know that I am certainly asking myself these questions all of the time right now.
Who am I?
What am I doing?
What am I doing right now?
Well, I mean, right now, right now I'm hosting a podcast.
I'm a podcast host, but I'm also a comedian, whatever that means.
And I used to teach fifth grade.
Maybe that's who I am.
I don't know.
During this time in the world where so many of us are having to readjust our identities because our visions for what our life was supposed to look like have been blown off the rails, a lot of us are having to recalibrate where our self worth comes from.
So whether you are a student who is about to graduate and figuring out who you're going to be, or you're a teacher or a parent, or maybe you're just a person like me who is having these questions brought to the forefront of your brain, I think that there is a lot to be gained from talking to someone who knows how best to approach these questions.
So today on the podcast, we're going to be talking with a staff psychologist devoted to youth.
Here is a clip of what Doctor Megan O'Reilly had to say about self worth at TEDx SJSU back in 2018.
Obviously, 2018 was quite a while ago, and yet I think that what Doctor O'Reilly had to say is still incredibly relevant today.
How many of you have been asked, what do you do?
