Impact at Its Core

What happens when you've worked hard, done everything you thought you were supposed to do, and life still tells you no?

In this deeply personal episode of Impact at Its Core, Gabby Vera opens up about walking away from her role as a Parks and Recreation Director, navigating professional rejection, questioning her self-worth, and facing the uncertainty of starting over.

From the emotional roller coaster of job interviews to the financial realities of an unexpected career transition, Gabby shares the moments that challenged her confidence, tested her faith, and ultimately inspired her to bet on herself.

This episode is about more than rejection. It's about resilience, redefining success, and remembering that your worth isn't determined by someone else's decision.

Because sometimes life doesn't go according to plan, but that doesn't mean your story is over.

Who are you when the title is stripped away?

We spend so much of our lives chasing the next promotion, the next opportunity, or the next leadership position that somewhere along the way, we risk confusing what we do with who we are.

In the first official episode of Impact at Its Core, Gabby Vera challenges the idea that our professional titles determine our worth, our purpose, or the impact we leave behind.

Whether you're navigating a career transition, redefining success, experiencing an unexpected setback, or simply questioning what's next, this episode is a reminder that your identity extends far beyond your résumé.

Because leadership isn't about the position you hold. It's about the person you choose to be, the values you refuse to compromise, and the impact you create along the way.

Your title may change. Your position may disappear. But your purpose? That's yours to define.
