There’s a good chance that who you think you are isn’t actually who you are.
Most of us build this identity from selective experiences and then just stick to it. We pick a version of ourselves that makes sense and say “this is me” and then we try to be consistent with that.
But it’s not real. You’re not just one thing. You’re not just a good person or a bad person or a confident person or an introvert or whatever label you’ve given yourself. You’re a mix. You’re constantly changing.
In this episode I talk about how we create these identities, why we hold onto them, and how they can actually limit us without us realising it.
Also get into the fear of changing, the pressure to stay the same for other people, and why it feels so uncomfortable to show up differently even when you want to.
It’s basically just about letting go of this fixed idea of who you are and realising you don’t actually have to be that person if it’s not working anymore.
