The parts of you you’ve been hiding? The ones you’ve labeled as too messy, too much, or not enough? They’re not your flaws—they’re your power. In this 100th episode of Choose to Become, I’m breaking down why shadow work is the key to emotional healing, self-acceptance, and finally feeling whole. We’ll talk about how cultural conditioning taught us to abandon ourselves, why softness is strength, and how to start reclaiming the parts of you you’ve been running from. It’s time to stop performing and start becoming you.
