Ep 124.
Are You Living Under a False Identity? So many of us—at every age—struggle with feeling different, like the black sheep, the outsider, or the misunderstood original in a world that demands conformity. We say we want to be “unique,” but what we often mean is: we want to be free. This deep inner tension is not rebellion for its own sake. It's the natural, human desire to grow—to separate from the roles and identities we’ve inherited. Roles like caregiver, provider, parent, or problem-solver. These roles may serve us or even protect us at one point, but they can become cages. And eventually, something inside us starts to shift. Our perspective changes. Our desires wake up. What once felt comfortable starts to feel confining. We begin to question: Who am I outside of what I do? What if there's more? This episode explores the spiritual and psychological journey of shedding false identities, embracing your true self, and stepping into the life you were meant to live—not the life handed to you. These invisible ceilings? They’re not real. They’re often installed by fear—ours or someone else’s. And we can break through them. You are not too late, not too old, not too lost. You are simply being called to remember.🔥 Let’s explore how to break through self-imposed limitations, transcend outdated roles, and live a life with no ceiling. Your authentic life begins the moment you stop asking for permission. You won’t be qualified before you start. You’ll be qualified by doing. Come as you are. Walk well.
