from Playing The Fool · host Jarna Saunders

In this episode of Playing The Fool, I talk about ego, what it actually is, why it exists, and how it’s been quietly running so many of our lives without us even realising it.I share honestly about my own ego, the parts of me that were controlling, reactive, angry, people-pleasing, perfectionistic, and deeply afraid. Not to shame those parts, but to finally understand them and the fact that they exist for a really good reason.Our ego isn’t here to ruin our lives. It came in when we were young to keep us safe from pain, rejection, grief, and feeling unlovable. The problem isn’t that we have an ego, the problem is when we’re adults and it’s still in the driver’s seat of our lived without us even realising.This episode is about learning how to own all of our parts, stop judging ourselves so harshly, and start re-parenting the parts of us that never learned another way.If this episode resonates with you then so will The Heart is the Bar. Doors are closing very soon.The Heart is The Bar.12 weeks of walking yourself out of corners you were never born to exist in.If you’re done surviving and ready to start living  then this is your invitation to say yes!! We Begin Monday the 9th of February.Ready to choose YOU? Join the Get On Your Mat Challenge!Love Jarna x
