Summary

This is one of those episodes that might make you pause and think… oh wow, that’s me. And I just want you to know—this comes with so much love. Today we’re talking about something that affects every single one of us: the difference between living from your ego (false self) and living from your true self. Most of us learned, without even realizing it, how to live in survival mode—how to protect ourselves, perform, compare, and prove. But that way of living? It’s exhausting. And the beautiful truth is… it’s not how you were created to live. In this episode, I walk you through 7 signs you might be living from your ego, including: Constantly feeling evaluated or self-conscious Getting defensive or over-explaining Living with pressure and urgency Comparing yourself to others Struggling to receive love or compliments Avoiding discomfort and playing small Feeling disconnected from yourself And then we talk about what to do next—how to gently come back to the version of you that is: grounded, loved, peaceful, and whole. This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about coming home to who you already are. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
