  • You’re Much More Than Your Job Title — And That’s Your Superpower
    2025/06/11

    What if you didn’t have to choose one version of yourself to be taken seriously?

    In this solo episode of Vision Voices, host Lara unpacks the quiet pressure to simplify who we are — and challenges the belief that we need to fit into one title, one lane, or one identity.

    This is about embracing your full range — not just what looks good on paper.

    Inside this episode we explore:

    - Why complexity is often mistaken for confusion
    - How showing your full self builds deeper connection
    - The cost of editing yourself down to “just one thing”
    - What it means to be "a full-spectrum human"

    If you've ever felt like you're too much, too many things, or not easy to label — this one is for you.
