You Are Not Your Job Title.
Who are YOU? Who are you when you separate yourself from your job? The way that you make money does not, and should not, define who you are as a person. Do you agree or disagree? I want to know what you think, too! ⬇️

Things we learned from this video: The word in French for trash is what? *poubelle* The jobs we have are what? *Not who we, ourselves, are*

I feel it soo bad. I graduated in December in Brazil and started looking for a job, but all my interviews were cancelled due to the pandemic. I've moved in with my parents and have struggled so hard putting this pressure on me because I don't have an income right now and don't know when things are gonna change. Now, over 100 days in quarantine, I discovered new talents and new hobbies and I feel better. I'm a PhD student in law, I'm a writer, o dance, sing, speak French and cook and I'm so much more content with myself. however it's still hard to face my friends and my inner comparison mode, shaming myself fo not being able to get a job like everyone else.
hearing you talk about this, I realized that this is exactly why, as a teacher, I don't like asking my students "what they want to be when they grow up." it always felt like a weird question to ask, and now I'm seeing that's because of the emphasis it places on "career above all." that question teaches kids to think of themselves only as workers within a system, not whole people with lives and emotions and identities outside their workplace. like not only do we value adults based on their current job, we also teach our children to value themselves and set up their entire self-worth based on whatever nebulous idea they may (or may not) have about what their FUTURE job might be... sigh. thanks for sharing this

Wow! I WISH that I had you as a teacher growing up! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 And that's so true, it's not just something we learn as adults! I appreciate the work you're doing in the classroom and thank you for taking the time to share this message. 💛💛💛 It's important!
No Misako Envela video is a waste of my time. She could upload a video of her speaking french badly, and I'd watch. She's just seems like a bomb person.
In these times this video is something that I never thought I needed but here it is - you made me feel 100% better about myself. You inspire with your words in a way that not many people can. I feel motivated to not be so hard on myself but at the same time look for new passions and develop the old ones. So I just want to say thank you and I appreciate you. Lots of love ❤
Who am I? ... I am a sister, daughter, niece, auntie, former lover of a few people, person with a large sweet tooth that needs pulling, person who's pushed through life when I so wanted let go of it. I am so many things and I am here. Thank you, Misako, for spiritually inviting me to your space.
Wonderful affirmation as always. When you're in these jobs, it can be really hard to figure out if you're just an oddball who wants more out of life than to be a cog in some corporate machine as we've been taught. Embrace being more than your job title, indeed!
Oh yeah she really touched on that topic thank you Ma’m
So spot on! As a recovering Boomer, it has taken me years to let go of all those societal expectations. I wish I had your wisdom when I was your age.
I couldn't agree more on this.. more times as humans we define our success on our career and how much money we make from our 9-5 job and I have had so many conversations with my friends about how true this is... more time we are so hard on our self because we aren't where our friends are or we aren't 'successful' or where we thought we would be and theres so much more to life then our career.
this is something i struggle with a lot! always stressing out about the future out of fear not living up to my full potential some day workwise. i do not want to give a job such a big part in my life but at the same time i want to enjoy it and find something i really like. so hard to balance all of this. thank you for talking about such an important topic! i will try to write some things down in my journal.
I definitely struggle with this. I'm an urban planner, but I am so much more than that. I got furloughed and laid off from my first post-college planning job and I've felt very lost. The upside is that I have utilized this time to confront myself on the things that I have been avoiding, such as decluttering my room and my mind. I've found that the biggest issue that has come out of this for me is the lack of structure I impose on myself (I.e. going to bed SUPER late, eating kind of badly, spending all day on youtube, not washing my face in the morning). Ultimately, this is something I have to confront because I am fucking tired of living like this and torturing myself because I lost my job.
I just wanted to say I came to watch this video because the title struck me - but the funny thing is I found it immediately after seeing your video about learning how to swim at 26, and it's just incredible to see how a few of the aspirations you mentioned in this video (e.g. travelling again, swimming) have already been realized. It was really touching to see and inspired me to remain optimistic about trying new things even in the face of this year's unprecedented hurdles.
Thank you I really needed this :') I'm in university right now full time and have 2 jobs (work from 7am-6pm most days then study) because I'm trying to pay off my student loans before I graduate so that I can be debt-free and move to Spain without restrictions and my family and friends are always so impressed and proud of me but I feel like I am so overworked that I have stopped being awake in my own life and am unable to give anything more than 50% of my attention and it really pains me knowing I'm not fully able to show up 100% with my schooling and relationships with others.
Oooh Misako, this hits homeee. Last year I left college to travel and figure things out, and for so long I felt the same anxiety of not having a title or institution to attach to. I'm still learning to value my quality of life over my quantity of output but I feel so much more free to pursue and feel a state of flow in my passions. I'm singing and writing songs, I'm learning more languages, I'm finally making youtube videos lol. I love you and love your content *chefs kiss*
You're so right! Even if you love your job you are so much more that! Thank you for being such a beautiful, positive voice in this world! 🙌🏿💖✨
that description of yourself at the end was magic - I NEED to change this narrative for myself, going a bit crazy over here in sweden as well. thank you!
I always wondered why the “follow your dreams” advice usually seemed mean “go after your dream job,” and it’s exactly this that you talk about - we’re used to equating ourselves with our jobs. I made a life goals list for the first time in a while - it doesn’t have anything to do with my career and that feels good. I want to communicate well with my Chinese-speaking family, friends, and neighbors, so I learn Chinese. I want to be able to watch Chinese videos, shows, movies, and news and understand it along with most of the cultural subtext. I want to feel great in my body again like when I was a kid, so I condition, stretch, dance, and do gymnastics. I love watching sketch comedy like Kids in the Hall. I want to see the world more clearly, so I study psychology and philosophy. I want read and write more avidly. I want to create friction in this system we’re living in, so I educate myself on social issues and I want to volunteer and donate to grassroots campaigns like AOC and similar politicians. I want to buy less things, and when I do buy, buy with purpose, intention, and research. I want to be a better friend and daughter. I want to live in a NYC brownstone. I want to cook lots of Chinese food. I realize that there’s a lot of things I yearn for, but there’s a lot of things I have now that I appreciate immensely.
This is literally what I am thinking all the time. I live with chronic pain and so am limited in the jobs I can do and the amount of hours I can work. Letting go of trying to ´make it´was the biggest relief I have EVER felt. Moving to Spain helped me get some perspective as they are so grateful for their jobs and they don´t tend to look down on people for how they make money. Have you read the book How to do nothing? I think you would like it, it´s about how we focus too much on productivity.
you are so reassuring ♡ i'm in my last week of a job at a nonprofit, but qtine has really drained my emotional and mental health stability and i've always itched to branch out--so I'm quitting after 3+ years. i'm going to take transition time to release, dream, realign with prioritizing cooking, harmony, spirituality. then i'm going to explore myself with other modes of creative production/expression. I found u thru ur convo w/ ur friend about redefinining relationship with food and then now here. glad I found u!! ur voice is very helpful and necessary for introspective (and perhaps lonely) minds.
Just added this to my playlist of videos called “for my spirit”. I’ll be coming back to this gem often. Thank you for this.
Misako ooooo girl you’re glowing 🥰🥰🥰
I came from Damon's channel and saw this and I just want to say I love you. thank you I didnt know I needed this. Thank you for empowering me. Its hard to freelance. Its hard to get probono clients to gain exp and build a portfolio but thank you for this. This made my fine arts graduate ass empowered. I love you
I loved this video. It was definitely worth the time. This is something I really struggle with as someone that is several years out of college and feeling stuck/undervalued in my professional life. I feel like my friends and family shade me for not being "successful" yet. While their criticism hurts, I am definitely the hardest on myself. It will definitely take some unlearning to combat these pressures. Thank you for the reminder. ✨ I am a great friend. I love music and dance. This past week, I learned how to make clay jewelry and personalized pen pal letters. I would love to move to Atlanta or Los Angeles but I am probably designed for small town living. I am a real empath and too much energy can disrupt my flow. Family means the world to me and I take my friendships seriously. I love moving my body and sometimes I like to run. I hope to make creativity a practice and show the people in my life how much I love them often. Lastly, I am a huge Misako fan! Your content is so inspiring and peaceful. I hope to create beautiful content like this one day too. 💕
loved this video! Who am I? I am Rhiannon. A caring, goofy, random, funny, LOVING person who cares a lot about trying to make the world better. I am an animal, food, art, music, nature, adventure, people, philosophy, book... lover. Quarantine forced me to start a brand new relationship... WITH MYSELF - I've never been happier which feels strange to say in these times. but I am so grateful all the same. I'm glad you started a youtube channel, new sub here. bonjourrrrrr (I"m learning French rn too, lol)!
i love that you actually listed all your hobbies and dreams and opinions
Misako! You have such an amazing gift for creating intentional content. As an American I relate completely to everything you mentioned. As I finish my undergraduate degree I'm realizing I don't even want to work in the field I'm studying. I'm unlearning the things I was taught and I am so grateful for this reminder to not pressure myself into a career choice because of our society. Thank you!!

MISAKO I NEED YOU TO MAKE THAT DOCUMENTARY ASAP I love the way you present your videos, the editing, the overall vibe everything. I'm 100 percent sure a documentary from you will be amazing!
Wowowow. This week did not start on a positive note after hearing another rejection from a company I truly thought would hire me. I'm learning each day that people will not make my life bearable, only I can. Can I say I have it as bad as other people? Not at all. I'm healthy and improving my character each day to be honest with what I want. Your video is such a beautiful and paramount reminder to a lot of young and even older individuals who are caught up on the unrealistic pace of America's societal expectations. Keep up the wonderful work!
Oh my goodness Misako, I so agree with you about people asking what I do? My response sometimes is "what do I do about what?" 😉 I have gotten into the habit of asking about people's passion instead of asking about their job. So, I am an adventurist, competitor, animal lover, world traveler, an awesome friend, compassionate woman, great aunt, sister, and a student of life. And so much more. Love your description of who you are! BTW, your plants are amazing!
Hi Misako. I’m Antonette (aunt tin net) not many people say that correctly. I am a Christian, I am a middle child haha and I am an adventurous woman. I like to write, paint, read, and cook. I enjoy taking long walks while listening to sermons or audiobooks. In this season I’m trying o reside in the present moment. Too often I find myself anticipating the future or reflecting on my past. Being present is hard but it has helped me appreciate every day a little more. As always, thanks for sharing who you are.
This was really great! Absolutely applies to what I’m going through right now, thank you :)
I find myself watching at least one of your videos a day, just to ground myself and reset a little. Your amazing and I appreciate your work ❤️
Yes. Yes. Yes.
LOUDERRR for the people in the back !! (loved the video) Being the eldest daughter had me think that my worth is determined by the job i end up getting after uni...honestly i hate it... too much pressure.

Hi Faten 💛 Thank you for taking the time to watch and for leaving a comment. I definitely can relate to feeling the pressure of being the oldest and wanting to make your family proud/take care of your family. It's a lot of pressure! At the end of the day, our families will (or they should haha) love us for who we are, not what we do!

I love your videos so much, you can tell how sacred your videos are and how much you value our time through the content you produce! Thank you for holding this space for us and telling us more about who you are. I'm proud to be a Health Coach because after years of struggling and leaving a "stable" job, I finally feel that who I am inside aligns with what I do for work. However, I along with everyone are more than our job titles because those tend to come and go. Who I am regardless of my employment status is a person who is passionate about the wellbeing of myself and other humans/animals/the planet (even though I don't always follow through with my own self-care), I care a lot about a lot of things and people, I'm SUPER sensitive (Cancer Sun & Pisces Moon), I'm a loved one to many people, I'm a traveler, I love music, I'm a daydreamer, I love the law of attraction, and so much more!

My self worth is tied to my career and I judge others by their careers. When I was unemployed I was anti social and closed off until I found a job too . I felt unworthy. Trying to change this way of thinking 🤔it’s hard
