What even is the ego?

If you’ve listened to even one of my podcast episodes, you’ve heard me use the E word thousands of times 😝 But what does it mean?

Usually, an official definition only confuses us even more:

“the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious and is responsible for reality testing and a sense of personal identity.” (Only moderately helpful, in my opinion).

There are so many better explanations that can help us understand the ego in a very real way: how the ego functions in our minds, and both allows us to survive this thing called life, and can imprison us at the same time.

Listen to this week’s episode of the podcast to gain a more tangible understanding of the ego and learn effective ways to work with it.

Doing this kind of personal growth work is the quickest way to unlock incredible parenting for your kiddo and the most joyful life you could ever experience!

And if you're ready to look into implementing these ideas in your own life, set up a free Discovery Call and let's see if we're a good fit! https://calendly.com/annkaplan/discoverycall
