On this week's episode, we talk more about owning who you are and being radically honest with ourselves about who we are not. On this episode we dive into how the easiest part of owning who we are is accepting the lighter sides of us, but in this episode we go into how to embrace the darker sides of us. The episode goes into how owning who you are completely is looking at the parts of us that are hard to accept and facing our fears, doubts and insecurities around them face on. Only when we face the darker sides of us, the hidden sides of us and bring them to the light, show them compassion and find true acceptance for them, will we be able to have authentic confidence and fully own who we are.
