WITH KATHLEEN VAN ENGEN
“Don’t wrap your identity up in anything because change is great and that’s part of the adventure. If you’re going to pursue a dream, chances are it’s going to take you a bit to figure out what that looks like.”
About This Episode:
So often in life, we as women can feel like we are being defined by the roles that we play, so we begin to search for our true identity. In this episode, I’m talking with my friend and director of Tattered Tiaras about the struggles we face as women to be uniquely who have been created to be. In this candid conversation, Kathleen shares her battle with mental illness following the birth of her second son and how that was the catalyst for her becoming an advocate for women suffering from mental health issues. We also talk about the challenge women face in leadership and trap that we can easily fall into when we look for our identity in what we do instead of who we are.
