Why You're More Than One Thing (And Why It Matters)

from Being You and Free · host Shilpa Kapilavai

I was driving when I noticed a bumper sticker on the car ahead of me. It read: “Heavily Meditated.”In this week’s episode, I reflect on how easily we attach ourselves to a single identity, whether it’s a job, a passion, or even a spiritual practice. Over time, those labels can start to feel like the whole story of who we are.But what if our lives aren’t meant to be defined by just one role, but by many seasons and identities?If you prefer to read, you can find the written essay here.
