A Success Of Our Own

How To Be Myself | Wren Jones


Listen Later

Wren Jones is finally being herself.

After decades on the mainstream path of her white, upper middle class upbringing - Wren’s life took an unexpected turn. Suddenly, the risk of not being herself seemed greater than the fear of owning who she truly was.

Ask her what she does today and Wren will tell you that she’s a writer.  But, just a few years ago, she wouldn’t call herself a writer...let alone say she did much writing at all.  So, what changed?

“I had spent so much time giving to other people and focusing on other people's needs. I had a lot of anger and resentment…I needed to really make my health and myself a priority.”

We often hear the phrase “just be yourself” but what does it actually feel like to be yourself?  And, how do we put that feeling into practice?  

Wren's wisdom on these questions will leave you feeling both emboldened and softened.

In this conversation you’ll learn:

• What led Wren to finally decide to be herself

• Why putting creativity at the centre of your life is vital if you want to honour your spark

• What Wren is no longer saying yes to

• What changed when Wren started to see herself as a writer and not just as someone who writes
