Danielle Robay Instagram – 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐘𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐓: with @taryndelaniesmith (Stop Leaning Into Titles And Embrace Delulu Dreams) Q 💡: What do you say when someone asks “what do you do?” A 💋: Titles are like makeup; fun to wear, but not the essence of who we are. Our guest this week, Taryn Delanie knows this well. She held the title of Miss New York and today is a content creator, actress, and comedian with 1.8MM social media followers. But before she held any of those titles, Taryn held many others— dog walker, house cleaner, and receptionist. All of those titles inspired her greatest success yet — her fictional character Denise, heaven’s receptionist, welcoming people into heaven. 🤍 The grief community embraced her online and people started writing in, making requests to her for their passed on loved ones. And so, with this huge platform, huge talent, and huge heart, Taryn is looking at things differently these days: 𝘐’𝘮 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘴.
