Welcome to Identity Soup, a podcast blending stories, neuroscience, psychology and spirituality to help you understand both the concept of identity and your own lived identity experience.

In this episode, I will be discussing a number of different approaches to this word - identity - and as with everything in this podcast, it is on you to take what you need. To connect with the bits that land and resonate and be ok leaving those that don’t at the table.

I discuss:

  • Identity theory - the discussion about whether identity is stable or dynamically constructed. 
  • Unpacking the identities you have and how to interrogate the things that come to mind. 
  • The science, academic theory and spiritual perspectives on Self and identity.
  • How the unconscious and subconscious affect our perception of self. 
  • Social Identities, role Identities, and personal Identities.

… and more!

Today’s exercise: Write a list of things that come up when asked 'who are you?’
