Episode 101 Unbecoming: The Path to Your True Self
In this episode of "Your Inner Advocate," host Kimen Petersen explores the concept of "unbecoming"—shedding the roles, beliefs, and expectations that no longer serve us in order to discover our true selves. Drawing from personal stories and moments of vulnerability, Kimen discusses the journey from seeking external validation to embracing authenticity and inner wisdom. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on what they need to let go of, challenge their inner critic, and take small, courageous steps toward living a life aligned with their purpose. The episode closes with a practical challenge: choose one thing to release this week and make space for growth and fulfillment.
