What comes to mind for you?
I break my “I am” into different buckets.
In no particular order:
Personal Roles:
Father
Son
Brother
Husband
Friend
Professional Roles:
Coach
Podcaster
Writer
Facilitator
Speaker
Community Roles:
Jewish
American
Washingtonian/Bethesdan/Marylander
Adjective Roles:

Caring
Passionate
Sensitive
Courageously Creative
Genuine
Seeking Contentment/Fulfilment
Feel free to use my buckets or create your own. What comes to mind for you? Our identity is never tied to just one thing; we all have identity intersections. The more diverse our answer, the less likely we are to burn out or falter when one of our identities is threatened.
I’d love to hear what you come up with.
