What does being your true self look like?
Have you ever asked yourself who you are, what you are, what your goals are, and what your achievements are? For most of us, our identity is often linked to things outside ourselves. Whether you define yourself with labels such as the mom, wife, caregiver, family member, or the white sheep or black sheep in the family, who you truly are has very little to do with anything else besides who you are as a person. Your identity does not necessarily have to be linked to a job or the family you came from because they are not who you are. Defining your true identity starts with self-awareness, and it comes from within.
Join the conversation with your host Bettina as she explores the facets of being your true self, from understanding who you are at your core to developing strategies for embodying that in the everyday.
