In this episode, I sit down with one of my best friends, Branden Polk, to unpack the issue of identity. It took me decades to learn about the concept of "parts of self" and how we can not only access but integrate a full range of emotions into our identity.
Branden draws from his decades of experience as a life coach, minister, and professional counselor to help us more fully understand how our self-belief is linked to our identity. Acknowledging, showing compassion and integrating all of the parts of who we are, silences shame and unleashes a belief that can overcome self-doubt. Listen in as two friends reflect on how they've watched and helped one another do that over the last decade, and where we aspire for more integration in society to have a thriving "beloved community."
This special two-part conversation is equal parts old friends sharing personal and vulnerable stories of growth as well as truthful admissions and hard-gained wisdom acquired along the way. I hope this discussion leaves you with a greater understanding of self, and how valuable all of you is to all of us.
