016: Maturity of the Authentic Self with Michelle Powell
Being your true and authentic self means that what you say in life aligns with your actions. It is who you truly are, at your deepest core.
However, internal elements of ourselves can be lost piece by piece because of a lot of external factors. They chip away slowly until you can’t recognize yourself anymore.
In this episode, we delve into the importance of having the courage to be your authentic self and what it means to have a loss of self. A lot of times we don’t even know we are being removed from our authentic self and we tend to shy away from our core essence. Understanding that ownership of self is the key element of the maturity of your authentic self.
So ask yourself, who were you before the world told you who you should be?
