Summary

Each of us carries two types of “self.” Our authentic self—who God has made us to be. And our adapted self—the facade we’ve created to protect ourselves from pain and difficulty. On today’s episode, we talk to Marilyn Vancil, a spiritual director, coach, and author of Self To Lose, Self To Find. Marilyn talks us through how to identify which self we are living out of and what tools we can use to live out of who God made us to be.

0:10.2	Hello, hello, I am your host Trevor Windsor, and you're listening to Episode 265 of the Pure Desire
0:14.8	podcast.
0:15.5	You're joining me as always as my co-host, Nick Stumbo.
0:18.5	Wouldn't do it.
0:19.8	Wouldn't be prudent.
0:21.7	Oh, gosh.
0:23.7	You know, there are some intros you do where I'm just like, man, I should know this.
0:27.1	And honestly, I'm ashamed to that I don't know this.
0:29.5	But I'll admit it here in a safe place.
0:31.7	I don't know.
0:32.3	What is that?
0:32.9	Well, it's probably good because it means that you were not watching Saturday Night Live as like a two year old, which would not have been an appropriate show for your parents to put you in
0:41.3	front of because that was Dana Carvey.
0:44.4	So I was impersonating Dana Carvey who was impersonating George H.W. Bush about something.
0:49.8	I don't know if he actually said that or not, but that was repeated a lot in my teenage years by kids

So Nick, you and I, we met with, and it was the first time that we had met her, Marilyn Vancell, and she is a life coach, a spiritual director, an enneagram expert, and an author. And she's written one book so far and another that's coming out. But the one that we really talked about most today was self-to-lose, self-defined. And we really just talked to her about how do we
1:32.6	find our true self who God has actually made us to be? Yeah, I think a really valuable conversation.
