Beyond the Self with Africa Brooke

#063 - The fear of being left behind


Listen Later

Lately, I've been thinking about the labels society places on us. You might know me as a ‘content creator’ or as someone who influences, but that's just what you see on the surface. My daily work delves deeper than I could ever show you online.

It involves extensive research and mentorship. I'm all about exploring self-sabotage and self-censorship and understanding the truth of our human experience.

My work and mission requires slowness and intentionally, both of which can trigger the feeling of being ‘left behind’.

But for fellow creatives and entrepreneurs, here's a friendly tip: Ditch the "content" label. Take breaks from social media, hone your craft, and live your ideas. Don't rush or mimic others without understanding and don't let algorithms or others' expectations dictate your path.

Remember, your worth is not defined by societal labels or external validation, but by your authenticity and commitment to your craft.
