Hi ,
How are things with you? So, do you remember that saying: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me? Well, it's wrong!
This week I was inspired by an email from a reader who asked about a name/label they've been given at work: Office Mom.
And it reminded me of labels I've had over the years like chatterbox, absent-minded professor, fiery redhead. I've never liked them because they put me in a box. People think they know me—and why I behave a certain way. But the answer is much more complex than Emma is _____.
So, I hope you enjoy this article on the dangers of labelling (plus there's a homework exercise to help you figure out your labels):
