Episode Synopsis

Who were you before the world told you who to be?In this episode, I'm getting vulnerable about my own lifelong identity crisis — from the shame I carried around my own name to the limiting beliefs that kept me performing instead of living. If you've ever felt fragmented, lost, or like you're constantly asking "Am I doing this right?" — this one's for you.We're diving deep into:The three layers of identity crisis (fragmentation, performance, and disconnection)How we absorb beliefs that aren't ours and mistake them for truthWhy your desire for "more" isn't selfish — it's your compassThe real work of shadow integration: writing your story, bringing in the body, and embodying the shiftsHow to stop performing authenticity and start living itYour identity crisis isn't a sign that something's wrong with you. It's a sign that something's right — that some part of you refuses to keep hiding.That crisis?
