Personally, I look up to Dr Brene Brown. She's a social worker and researcher who studies vulnerability and shame. I appreciate that she tries to dig into these crazy human emotions in an academic capacity, but that she also uses her own life and struggles as an example of what they look like. She talks the talk AND she walks the walk, which is what I think makes a great mental health professional. She's reminded me that being brave is a choice, not a personality trait, and that it's totally okay to a little bit awkward and uncool, because that means you're probably having fun and being yourself.
