Show Notes:

How do you identify yourself? On today’s episode, we’re getting deep and examining the question no one can hide from: who are you? From names and job titles to religious and political affiliations, we’re exploring the categories we most often use to identify ourselves and other people. Then we’re digging deeper and exploring what it means to make true connections, and why we tend to avoid them in favor of surface level ones. How does this stop us from evolving, as individuals and as a society? Our goal today is to help you find what’s at your core, so you can start being genuinely you!
