Summary
Prepare for a profound episode, where we journey into the process of shedding old selves and embracing authenticity. In this AMA episode with my right-hand woman, Bailey, I share what I’ve learned in my quest to become the most real and authentic version of myself.
We begin with my personal transformation, starting from the influences of my childhood on my self-worth, to my life-changing move to LA and subsequent struggle with addiction. I recount how letting go of my old identities as a rock star or cool guy, embracing the Vedic teachings that had been sprinkled throughout my childhood, and starting over in rehab led to the most significant moment of clarity in my life.
We then delve into how to end the habit of dishonesty with ourselves and others, reflect on performative behaviors and roles we subscribe to, silence a negative mind and so much more.
Ultimately, we discuss the ways in which I’ve been able to create awareness around my negative habits and behaviors over time in order to peel back the layers and find my true self. If you're ready to let go of your old identities and step into authenticity, you won't want to miss this one!
