Listen "22: Unmasking the Ego Part 1— The Illusion of Identity"
Episode Synopsis
Who are you, really beneath the stories you tell, the labels you wear, and the roles you have learned to play?We often think of ego as arrogance or pride. But the truth is subtler. Ego is the voice of fear, the mask of identity, the protective layer that tries to keep us safe, even if it keeps us small.Beyond the labels, the ego is the storyteller of separation. It thrives on comparison, control, and the need to prove. In this episode, we begin to peel back the layers of the ego, the constructed self that shapes how we see the world and how we see ourselves. From childhood conditioning to hidden fears, the ego is both our shield and our cage. But when we learn to see it for what it is, we begin to free ourselves from the illusions that limit our potential.We explore:What the ego really is and what it is notHow the ego is formed and the ways it shapes your identity and choicesSigns you are operating from ego rather than true selfWhy the ego clings to identity and stories of separationHow awareness begins to loosen ego’s grip and open the door to freedomHow ego disguises itself in everyday life, from seeking validation to fearing judgment5 Reflection prompts to notice where ego is quietly shaping your choicesThis is not a conversation about destroying the ego, but about understanding its purpose, recognising its voice, and gently remembering the deeper self that exists beneath it.Because the moment you can see the ego, you don’t have to unconsciously become it.This is an invitation to look inward, not with judgment, but with curiosity and ask: Where is ego running the show in my life? And what would it mean to return to the deeper truth of who I am?🎧 Take a breath. Press pause. And begin unmasking the stories that hold you back.——————————————————————————————For all your your Press Pause Moments: https://bio.site/PresspausemovementInstagram https://www.instagram.com/presspausemovement/YouTube :https://www.youtube.com/@PressPauseMovementSpotify Curated playlists :https://open.spotify.com/user/31jprprcvkv43guxasnlqmbfnj5m?si=28b3e47b841e4ecbWebsite : https://msha.ke/presspausemovement#join-the-press-pause-movementSubscribe to the Newsletter for round-ups of soulful content, including recommended podcasts, playlists, meditations, and resources designed to inspire and shift your perspective.——————————————————————————————About the Host:Anoushka created the Press Pause movement to offer a transformative space for seekers, individuals and businesses alike, to explore self enquiry, connect with tools to promote inner alignment and expand consciousness to accelerate meaningful growth.
