Who Are You Really? [MiNDSHiFT Monday]
**Episode Summary:**
In this episode of MiNDSHiFT Monday, host Robert Kennedy III (RK3) asks a powerful question: Who are you if your job, income, or title disappeared tomorrow?

Through stories of public figures like Andre Agassi and Howard Schultz, as well as his own personal experiences, Robert illustrates the struggles that come with shifting identity and the importance of anchoring yourself in values that can’t be taken away. He offers practical action items to help listeners uncover their core identity, stay grounded in times of uncertainty, and embrace affirmations that reinforce a resilient and authentic self.
