Identity

from How to Be Human · host Anna Toonk

Who am I? What am I? What is my purpose? These are the kinds of questions that Nina and Anna’s clients often come to them with. So many of us get caught up in our own conditioning and other people’s identities that it becomes difficult to decipher who we really are. On today’s episode, Anna and Nina discuss their thoughts and experiences with personal and social identity.&nbsp;One of the greatest factors that muddles our relationship with identity is social media. Nina notes that there’s a huge business of selling an image and use of façade marketing, especially in the world of fitness influencers. Anna and Nina talk about the importance of allowing yourself to experiment and honor what feels good without getting caught up in the ego or ideas of who you should be.&nbsp;They also touch on the consequences of having a lack of coherent sense of identity. It usually results in a lack of compassion and acceptance of others, which creates an environment where people are afraid to affirm themselves and live freely. Anna and Nina round out their conversation by describing what they identify as and how that shapes their everyday lives.&nbsp;Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Stitcher, or on your favorite podcast platformTopics Covered:The struggles of working with different identities as a Tarot reader&nbsp;The obsession with being a social media star and selling an imageGetting more comfortable with calling out people who create unsafe and exclusive environments&nbsp;The problem with choosing your identity instead of internalizing your own valuesDiscovering one’s personal potential&nbsp;Resources Mentioned:Y Studios - What Factors Really Influence Identity?&nbsp;The New Yorker - How Social Media Shapes Our Identity By&nbsp;Nausicaa Renner&nbsp;Psychology Today - Basics of Identity &nbsp;Sounds Like a Cult Podcast&nbsp;Rachel Cargle&nbsp;Ericka Hart Get in Touch:How to Be Human<a...
