You Don’t Get to Tell Me Who I Am: Identity, Freedom & the Boxes We’re Put In | DIVO- Ted Talks

Quote from Epidsode:"Nobody can make you be, feel, or do anything that you're not giving permission to." Show Notes:In this candid and unfiltered DIVOted Talks episode, Nicholas reflects on the deeply personal nature of identity — and the societal pressures that try to define it for us. Speaking from his own experience and observations, he unpacks:How identity evolves over time and why it’s more about what we recognize in ourselves than external labelsThe harm of forcing binary systems — and why intersex and non-binary realities challenge rigid normsThe irony of “freedom” in cultures that limit self-expression from birthWhy debates on gender, race, and immigration often miss the core issue: equitable humanityThe importance of holding your ground against imposed labels while respecting the personal journey of othersNicholas invites listeners to consider who has influenced their own identity — and whether those influences align with their truest self.🌱 Stay Connected:📍 Visit divowellness.com📬 Sign up for the DIVOted Newsletter💬 DM us with a time you stood your ground against someone else’s label of you— 🧡 DIVO Wellness — Movement is the Way
