    Read excerpt

    Some of the most important questions we can ask ourselves are also some of the simplest: Who am I? Who am I today, and how have I changed from the person I was years ago? What choices am I making today that might shape the person I become tomorrow? There are no shortage of questions when it comes to understanding ourselves. And taking an honest look at who we are isn’t always easy. It takes time, reflection, and a willingness to be honest with ourselves. In this podcast, we’ll explore some quest

    One of the most important questions we can ask ourselves is also one of the simplest: “Who am I?” The answer goes deeper than our job, our relationships, our interests, or the roles we play in everyday life. Understanding ourselves often means taking the time to look beneath the surface and think about what really matters to us. One way to do that is by asking ourselves a series of thoughtful questions.

    Read excerpt

    From the time we're born, we're given labels. Family, friends, teachers, and society all influence how we see ourselves and who we're expected to become. Many of those messages come from people who care about us, but that doesn't mean every label still fits. As we grow, it's easy to keep living according to old expectations instead of asking an important question: Who am I today?

    Read excerpt

    "If I am 98% perfect in everything I do, it will be the 2% I remember when all is through." For many people, one small mistake can overshadow dozens of successes. Instead of celebrating what went well, the mind fixates on the few imperfections. In this episode, your host explores the concept of "Red Ink Thinking" —the tendency to focus on flaws rather than accomplishments.
