What if putting yourself first isn't selfish? What if it's the first step toward becoming more fully yourself?
In this episode of I Can Fit That In, Erin Coupe sits down with Kerry Docherty, cofounder of lifestyle clothing brand Faherty and author of the memoir Selfish: Unlearning, Reclaiming, and Telling the Truth. Kerry opens up about the pressure to be good, adaptable, generous, and available to everyone around you, and what happens when you realize you've lost touch with the person underneath all those roles.
Kerry and Erin explore self-awareness, creativity, leadership, career identity, relationships, and the courage to tell the truth about what you actually want. Kerry shares how creativity helped her reconnect with herself, why the personal and professional parts of our lives can't really be separated, and how asking "Do I want to?" can be more important than proving "Can I?" Her memoir Selfish grew out of that same process of reclaiming her voice and making space for the parts of herself she had pushed aside.
What You'll Take Away:
- Why the roles you take on can slowly overshadow your sense of who you are
- How unresolved personal patterns can affect the way you communicate and show up at work
- Why creativity can be a powerful way to reconnect with yourself
- The difference between asking "Can I do this?" and "Do I actually want to?"
- How telling the truth about your own experience can change the way you approach work, relationships, and your next chapter
