Unmasking the Self: The Power of ”I am”

Who are you… really? In this powerful follow-up to our episode on self-connection, we explore the layered, often complicated nature of identity—how the words you speak after “I am” shape your life, and how to begin gently questioning the stories that have defined you. We’ll look at the difference between identity and roles, how shadow identities can form from past pain or survival, and what it means to remember who you are outside of your successes, failures, or the masks you've worn. This episode also features the folktale of Tatterhood, a fierce, unconventional heroine who never apologizes for who she is—and shows us the strength in claiming our true selves. ✨ Want to go deeper?
