Episode Synopsis

Hi friends, Kerry here. In today's episode of The Grace of Being Podcast, I'm riffing on one of the most important questions you can ask yourself: Who the hell do you think you are? This is a question that's come up countless times in my private practice over the years. I've sat with some of the kindest, most accomplished humans you could imagine—people who seem to "have it all together" on paper—yet are quietly at war with themselves. Somewhere along the way, they began building a story about who they are based on cherry-picked negative experiences, old wounds, and a brain that's wired to focus on what went wrong instead of what went right. In this episode, we explore: Why your brain clings to the negative and how that shapes your self-concept The role of media, social comparison, and fear in distorting your self-worth How conformity and our deep need for acceptance influence who we "pretend" to be What happens when you finally spend time alone and start reconnecting with your true self A simple but powerful daily mantra that helped me shift from self-doubt to self-confidence I'll also share a story from my own life—the moment I realized how much fear and self-judgment were running the show—and how I began re-writing the story in my own head. If you've ever found yourself stuck in the loop of "not good enough," this one's for you. It's the start of a deeper conversation about self-belief, self-knowledge, and the grace that comes with being fully yourself. ✨ Try This: Spend some time alone this week. Turn off the noise, step outside, and get quiet with yourself. Notice the thoughts that come up—and begin to rewrite them with compassion and intention.
