Does the term finding yourself sound cringy? I've seen my fair share of eye rolls when it comes up, but why? In this episode, we confront the societal shame that is often associated with self-discovery. I share my personal, continued, journey with finding myself and breaking free from the ideas others have for you. We talk about corporate conditioning, navigating other people's advice, and tuning into your own intuition. Discover the 3 actionable ways to help you find yourself and move towards living with more purpose. You can confidently pursue your authentic path without shame. ✨ FREE GUIDE: Soften Your Inner Critic in 7 Days: A Guide to Stop Getting In Your Own Way📖 7 Books To Find Yourself:The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield The Great Work of Your Life by Stephen CopeThe Book of Dharma by Simon HaasThe Untethered Soul by Michael A.
