Impact Over Intention Q&A: Separating Who You Are from What You Were Taught

Send us Fan MailThis episode is a listener Q&A follow-up to Impact Over Intention: The Stories That Shape Our Identity. After Episode 1, a powerful question came in that deserved its own conversation and in this episode, I slow down and answer it fully.The question: How do we begin to separate who we truly are from the beliefs we were taught when those beliefs came from people who meant well?Together, we explore how many of our beliefs were formed in moments of protection, not truth, and how those beliefs quietly become part of our identity. I walk through what it looks like to observe inherited beliefs without blaming our parents or caregivers, how to recognize when a belief no longer belongs to you, and how identity work allows you to reclaim yourself without guilt or resentment.This conversation is not about pointing fingers it’s about awareness, self-leadership, and giving yourself permission to unlearn what no longer serves you. If Episode 1 helped you recognize the impact of early experiences, this Q&A episode helps you begin the work of separating what shaped you from who you actually are.Support the showwww.tkstrickland.comEmail: [email protected]: @iamtkstricklandhttp://www.linkedin.com/in/tkstrickland
