Summary

What does it take to own yourself? To be fully confident in your voice and unapologetically yourself in all situations. I think it takes being deeply rooted in our skin. I feel like a lot of us are robbed of parts of ourselves throughout our life – whether that’s during adolescence when you’re trying to fit in, or as an adult in a relationship where you are not confident in your beliefs and the other person talks you out of your feelings. As we grow up and grow stronger – we may reclaim parts of ourselves. Our values shift, and we may gather the pieces of past broken selves and put them back together – as a true part of us. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE this process. So this is an episode in service of that – being unapologetically yourself, fully embodied, and validated just by your own opinions. As I mentioned if you are a person who is in a relationship where you don’t feel safe and you know you want to exit it, this is a resource to start with: https://www.thehotline.org/ Internet usage can be monitored and is impossible to erase completely.

0:44.9	And it's about what does it take to own yourself? What does that even mean?
0:50.0	This episode came about because I am so inspired by people like Amy Schumer,
0:55.2	just being unpologetically yourself, you know, just feeling embodied and validated just by your own
1:03.3	self-opinion. And I very much want to get there. I feel like a lot of us are robbed of parts of

1:16.0	this need to cultureate to a group and fit in just to not be excluded or not be beat up.
1:25.7	And this is such a massive life-altering stage we go through. Or maybe some of you actually had
1:34.2	to move to a new school, a new state, a new country, and a cultureate. And in a lot of cases,
1:41.6	we may have to negotiate that separation from part of ourselves throughout life. Like you might
1:49.7	have to do that constantly. And it's a hard thing to figure out sometimes, you know, how to
1:57.0	honor yourself while also surviving and making it in the world. And I think we kind of flip flop
2:05.6	between trying to be like others or the dominant mass and failing at that or rejecting it or we'll
2:14.0	go through stages where we've rejected. And sometimes if we try and we fail, it's too
2:20.1	excruciating to bear. And so this whole process can be very isolating and lonely throughout life
