Dr. Dan Siegel breaks down the illusion of the solo self and explores how redefining identity as both individual and relational—what he calls a "MWe"—can unlock fulfillment, belonging, and connection. From the science behind selfhood to powerful personal stories of loss, healing, and awareness, this conversation reveals how our language, culture, and perception shape who we are and how we can expand beyond those limits into a more compassionate, integrated way of being.
