The Two Forces Inside You - One Keeps You Stuck, One Sets You Free!

from The Sweet Empowerment Podcast - Reclaim your personal power! · host Kristen L. Brown

If this resonated with you, send me a message here!In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most powerful concepts in both psychology and self-development: the True Self vs. the False Self.Originally introduced by Donald Winnicott, this idea helps explain why so many of us feel disconnected from who we really are. At a young age, many of us learned to adapt, to become who we needed to be to feel safe, loved, or accepted. While that version of us helped us survive, it often keeps us stuck in patterns that no longer serve us.We explore how the false self shows up in everyday life through people-pleasing, perfectionism, control, and self-criticism, and why it’s not something to shame, but something to understand.More importantly, we talk about how to begin shifting out of it.Because beneath all of that conditioning is your true self, the part of you that is grounded, clear, connected, and whole. The version of you that doesn’t need to perform to be worthy.If you’ve been craving more authenticity, more peace, and a deeper connection to yourself, this conversation will help you understand why and show you where to begin.⭐️ The real you isn’t something you have to become. It’s something you come back to. ⭐️For FREE Resources, 📖 Book Link, 📝 Quizzes, 👚 Self-Love Merch Shop, 🗣️ 1:1 Mentoring and more: https://www.linktr.ee/kristenbrownauthor
