In this episode, I dive into the magic of really knowing yourself, sharing how watching your own reactions—like a river finding its flow—can help you discover who you truly are, with stories from my own life and John Muir’s adventures in Yosemite. I offer simple tips like journaling, mindfulness, and facing your fears to help you embrace all parts of yourself and live more authentically.
