Your Job Does Not Define Your Worth | Jessy Gomes | TEDxBedford

Everyone has the capacity to build themselves up piece by piece after a major burnout, but some people will never recover, and others will lose their sense of worth and ambition. In this talk Jessy Gomes shares one of the most vulnerable moments in her life as she lost herself, paid the motherhood penalty and found the courage to disconnect from past beliefs and experiences. She wants you to remember today that
Your job does not define your worth. Your background, parental status and workplace culture does not define your worth. It is your mindset and passion for life that define your worth.
