Welcome back to the podcast. I am Dr. Edie Wadsworth, founder of Life Mentoring School and host of the

Life Mentoring School podcast. We are so glad you're here. We specialize in helping high achieving

passionate women uncover their extraordinary God-given gifts. Welcome to the podcast. Let's dive in.

Today we're going to be chatting about maybe one of my

favorite topics, the true self, your true self. We're going to talk about four qualities of your

highest authentic self and some ways that we can cultivate that true self. So this is a topic that I've been studying and exploring for the past few years.

And my sort of the way that I teach it now is a combination between what I see in the

scripture as sort of the old man and the new man, the renewed self,

and some tenets of modern psychology as well.

But I love thinking about this topic and teaching on this topic because I think this can

really unlock your life in ways

that not many other things can. And when you get an understanding of this, I think you'll see

how important it is. This concept is actually so important that it's really the cornerstone of my

whole coaching program. So we talk about true and false self in relation to so

many other things. Like we talk a lot about habits in there. We talk about true self habits

versus false self habits, habits that help you become more of who God made you to be,

your true self and habits that take you the other direction. When we talk about

relationships, like being your true self in relationships, when we talk about contributing your

gifts, what are the gifts that you've been given and how do you contribute those as your true

authentic self? So we talk about it a lot in my program. And I think I probably

have a different way of thinking about it than I see most people talk about it. So I want to give

you a little bit of an understanding, like a little bit background of what I mean when I say that.
