Strolling through the vibrant Atlanta nightlife, I was once basking in the glow of running the city's hottest nightclub, a realm where every door opened effortlessly. But a high-profile incident shuttered that chapter and with it, my identity seemed to collapse. Join me on a poignant exploration into the shifting sands of identity, as I recount how losing that role forced me to reexamine what truly defines us. My dear friend Steve Sims's courageous battle against cancer further echoes this journey, as he wrestles with the changes chemotherapy has wrought upon his own sense of self.

In this week's episode of The Weekly Drop, we unpack how tying ourselves to transient roles or activities can lead to a crisis when those things inevitably change. Through personal stories and shared experiences, we delve into the pivotal role core values play in anchoring our true selves amidst the turbulence of life. Embrace this opportunity to reflect on your own core values and discover how they can serve as a compass to authenticity, guiding you through life's uncertainties with resilience and grace.
