Inner Peace, Better Health

Hearing Your True Self: Reconnecting with Who You Really Are with Kristen Crabtree

Listen Later

In this powerful episode of Inner Peace: Better Health, Kristen Crabtree shares her transformative journey from feeling invisible and disconnected to living in full alignment with her authentic self. She explains why most of us live like “chameleons,” constantly adapting to external expectations, and how that adaptation slowly silences our true inner voice. Kristen introduces practical tools (including her unique “jig” framework) to cut through noise, fear, guilt, and old conditioning so you can finally hear, trust, and act from your deepest truth, especially during major life transitions like divorce, career shifts, or identity crises.

Key Takeaways:

  • We become “chameleons” by adapting to others’ expectations; the longer we do this, the more separated we become from our true self.
  • 90% of the voices in our head are not ours; they belong to parents, teachers, partners, or society.
  • Clarity comes from building your personal “jig” (a framework of your core values, passions, mission, needs, and desires) so decisions become fast, intentional, and aligned.
  • Quieting the mind (through any form of meditation or mindfulness, even walking in nature) is the gateway to awareness and hearing your true voice.
  • A simple practice: Speak out loud to your true self and notice; if the response is critical, it’s not you. If it’s empowering and energizing, it is.
  • Reconnecting with your true self is not one dramatic moment; it’s a series of small, honest recognitions over time.
  • Even in messy emotional situations (relationships, guilt, attachment), your true self can cut through the noise when you create space and awareness.
