We all know the impact stress has on our physical and mental health. But did you know one of the major contributors to sustained everyday stress is related to identity? Specifically, the disconnects between who we want to be and who we actually are. Put another way, the disconnects between how we want others to see us as and who we actually are inside. 

In this powerful episode, Elliot describes the science of personas and identities, and the root cause of the underlying stress that is linked to a decrease in subjective well-being and an increase in mental health symptoms. You will learn immediate actions you can take to start resolving these internal disconnects and be inspired towards living your Optimal Life!
