Podcasts about identities

Ever feel like invisible forces are tripping you up, even when everything seems fine? I had no clue I was my own worst enemy until I peeled back three "identities" I'd been wearing.  First, I thought being a "good guy" meant never rocking the boat. Turns out, it just let standards slip and boundaries vanish. Then I leaned into my "fun boss" vibe only to use fun as an escape hatch from real work. And finally, I crowned myself a "messaging expert," which led to dangerous overconfidence and getting blindsided by industry shifts.  It wasn't the labels themselves that caused the chaos. It was my rigid definitions of them. Once I learned to redefine each identity holding firm to standards, being intentional with fun, and staying hungry for fresh insights my business and personal life leveled up.  Today on the podcast, I'm unpacking how your self-defined labels might be sabotaging your growth, and exactly how to flip the script.  Listen in and discover:  • Why "nice" without boundaries actually weakens your leadership  • How using fun as a distraction creates more stress, not less  • The danger of resting on your expertise and how to stay on the cutting edge  • The simple mindset tweak to redefine any identity for better results  Ready to turn your identities into superpowers?

In this episode, Dr. Gwen Burnyeat explores the fascinating relationship between horses, politics, and identity in Colombia, revealing how equestrian practices reflect broader social and political dynamics. Dr Gwen Burnyeat is Associate Professor in Anthropology and Development at Oxford University. The world of Colombian gaited horses, or cultura caballista (horse-riding culture), is often linked with uribismo, the right-wing identity associated with former president Álvaro Uribe Vélez. Ethnographic fieldwork in conflict-torn Antioquia reveals how horse-human practices of training, breeding, and competition cultivate orientations toward hierarchical authority, disciplined hypermasculinity, and control over land and living bodies. This occurs within histories of racialized regional identity, paramilitarism, and narco-culture.

Can two fearful avoidants make a relationship work? When both partners have fearful avoidant attachment, the connection can feel unusually deep—until conflict triggers an intense fight, a sudden shutdown, or a reversal of who is chasing whom.In newest episode, Dr. Sarah and Raina explain the fearful avoidant–fearful avoidant (FA–FA) relationship cycle. They discuss why these partners often feel so understood at first, how fear of betrayal can turn a disagreement into a painful fight, and how this pattern differs from a fearful avoidant–dismissive avoidant relationship.You'll also hear why understanding your partner's perspective does not mean agreeing with it, and how recognizing the cycle can help couples repair conflict and build a more secure connection.Tune in every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert insights, and the guidance you need to navigate love and relationships in today's world.

Librarians as Researchers: Developing Our Scholarly Identity (Bloomsbury, 2025) edited by Paul C. Campbell and Sarah Nagle is designed to empower librarians to develop their research skills and embrace their identities as scholars. Many librarians, particularly those in academic libraries, are expected to engage in research and scholarly output. However, unlike disciplinary faculty, most librarians have not completed a PhD program, and many have never designed or participated in original research upon embarking on their career. This edited volume provides inspiration and support for academic librarians looking to develop or refresh their research skills and develop their scholarly identities. The focus of this book is toward empowering librarians as researchers, rather than librarians supporting student or faculty research. This book provides a venue for librarians to share their knowledge on different aspects of research as well as build community for other librarians to actualize their own identities as researchers. The existing literature and research in the realm of librarian identity development often touches on librarian identities in the face of emerging technologies and new library types, or how librarians can support research at their institutions. However, there is a gap in the literature around librarians developing their own identities as researchers. Librarians have a unique role in the scholarly community; we often sacrifice our own research interests so that we can provide support and instruction to others, whether it be faculty, students, or the public. But the library world holds immense opportunity for developing and executing original research. Additionally, conducting research is beneficial to librarians' individual practice as well as the library community as a whole. This edited volume will provide guidance as well as actionable methods for librarians to develop foundational research philosophies, create communities of practice, and hone practical skills in a wide range of research areas.Guests: Paul C. Campbell is an Assistant Professor and the Social Science & Assessment Librarian at Kent State University Libraries. Sarah Nagle is the Creation and Innovation Services Librarian at Miami University in OhioHost: Dr. Michael LaMagna is a Professor of Library Services at Delaware County Community College.

Have you forgotten that you are called to be the Light of the World and Salt of the Earth? Join Pastor Georgy as he briefly takes us through this sermon on our IDENTITIES in Christ.

In this Research Review episode, we're joined by Dr. Charles van Rees to dive into a groundbreaking 2026 paper from Oregon State University (published in Molecular Ecology Resources). We break down how single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels and non-invasive scat samples (many located by detection dogs!) are allowing researchers to identify individual prey animals consumed by carnivores. Join Kayla and Dr. Charles van Rees for a crash course in genetics, filtering out mixed DNA samples, and what this means for understanding predator-prey dynamics in the field.Host: Kayla FrattEditor: Sara FangtonSci-comm intern: Evelyn CombsGuest logistics: Brooke Schoeder Website: Meg du BrayPatreon: Madison David

Why are fearful-avoidant and dismissive-avoidant partners so magnetically attracted to each other—only to become trapped in criticism, withdrawal, resentment, and disconnection?In this episode, Dr. Sarah Hensley breaks down the fearful-avoidant/dismissive-avoidant relationship dynamic and explains how couples can interrupt the painful push-pull cycle before it destroys their relationship.You'll learn:-Why fearful and dismissive avoidants are intensely attracted to each other-How the honeymoon phase turns into a pursue-withdraw conflict cycle-Why dismissive avoidants shut down—and why that activates fearful avoidants-How criticism, emotional flooding, defensiveness, and unresolved conflict create resentment-The dating red flags associated with both attachment styles-Why conventional couples therapy can sometimes make this dynamic worse-How neutral communication, emotional processing, mentalization, boundaries, and structured conflict repair can help-Whether one partner can become the secure anchor and change the relationshipDr. Hensley also shares a real-life conflict-repair example and explains why lasting regulation requires processing your emotions—not simply forcing yourself to calm down.Whether you identify as fearful avoidant, dismissive avoidant, emotionally unavailable, or simply feel stuck in a push-pull relationship, this episode offers practical insight into understanding your attachment patterns, resolving conflict, and building a more secure connection.Tune in every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert insights, and the guidance you need to navigate love and relationships in today's world.

In this episode, powered by Audacity 4, we continue our intervallo-esque lookback at everything we've missed in our mainline Limbus Company episodes (the woke previously known as season 2, woke 2) doing a 10 pull of recent art to look at gamer Ishmaels and wormlike Gregors, thinking about Clockwork-Time-Roly-Poly and a little bit too much about Headless Ichthys, prompting a sticky question: So how uh, how do we feel about a certain fish with a certain, ahem, inflated sack around visible around the chest area?

New fraud tactics are exposing weaknesses in the way government verifies identity. As artificial intelligence makes fake identities more convincing and easier to create, agencies are being forced to rethink systems that were designed for a different kind of threat. Jordan Burris, vice president and head of public sector strategy at Socure, says it's time to start treating identity as critical infrastructure.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if some of what you call your personality actually started as a way to stay safe, belong, or avoid conflict?In this special 300th episode of the Building Resilience Podcast, Leah Davidson walks through seven identities many midlife women have quietly carried for decades, the strong one, the responsible one, the peacekeeper, the productive one, the one who doesn't need anything, the good girl, and the one everyone needs. These roles once protected you, but by midlife they can start costing more than they give. Leah explores how to loosen their grip without losing the strengths underneath.Key TakeawaysMany "personality traits" are actually nervous system strategies that once kept you safe.Identities like "the strong one" or "the responsible one" often outlive their usefulness by midlife.Keeping the peace externally can quietly cost you pieces of yourself internally.Your worth isn't measured by productivity, usefulness, or how much you can carry alone.Nervous system flexibility means having more than one response available, not becoming a different person.Retiring an identity doesn't mean erasing it, it means letting it step back so other parts of you can lead.LINKS AND RESOURCES:The Art of Regulation: Doodle Your Nervous System Bundle (Physical journal, worldwide shipping, bonus content and bonus workshop): https://www.skool.com/doodle-your-nervous-system-5944/aboutAdvanced Training in Nervous System Resilience : https://leahdavidsonlifecoaching.com/coach-trainingCOMMUNITYMIDLIFE NERVOUS SYSTEM REWIRE COMMUNITY

Episode Transcript (provided by Riverside - forgive any errors): https://link.sheldongayisbugn.com/s3e23transcriptFollow I Must Be BUGN on IG @sheldongayisbugnSummary:I've spent a lot of time thinking about the parts of myself I didn't have language for until later in life. In this recap episode of I Must Be BUG'N, I sit with that feeling after my conversation with Patrick Casale MA LCMHC, an AuDHD therapist who didn't discover he was autistic until he was 35 years old.I ask the question that stays with me long after we stop recording: what does it cost us to grow up without the words for who we are? Autistic kids become autistic adults, yet somewhere along the way, the support just stops. I trace that gap, and I trace something harder to admit that Patrick names outright - the way ableism lives inside the neurodivergent community itself, shaping how we judge our own diagnoses before we even accept them.I follow that thread into reflecting on Patrick's thoughts on addiction, and how a search for connection can pull someone toward rooms that aren't necessarily safe. I land on the idea that keeps pulling me back in every conversation like this one: diagnosis doesn't just explain a person to themselves. It changes how they get loved. It completely changes the probability some relationships can survive.This episode is for anyone who's ever felt like a stranger in their own story - and for anyone ready to meet themselves for the first time.Key Topics:Conversations can deepen our understanding of ourselves.Many neurodivergent individuals realize their identity in adulthood.Resources for neurodivergent adults are limited compared to children.Confronting ableism is crucial for self-acceptance.Addiction often stems from a desire for connection.Understanding one's identity can improve relationships.Teaching about neurodivergence should include all ages.Self-discovery is essential for personal growth and accessing all of the joy available to usStay in Contact with Patrick Casale:Follow Patrick on IG: https://www.instagram.com/patrick.casaleSubscribe to the "AuDHD Journeys": https://patrickcasale.substack.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.comCheck his full Linktree: https://linktr.ee/patrickcasaleResources and Links:Video of comedian Ron Funches speaking about how he found out he was autistic: https://www.instagram.com/p/DdTrMTzJN5D/Patrick Casale's TEDx "Lessons from a late in life autism discovery ": https://youtu.be/hyImqW69OY4?si=yeo1bjgn5rvcx0AM"My Name is Pauli Murray" documentary: https://www.amazon.com/My-Name-Pauli-Murray/dp/B09DMPMWCPJohann Hari's TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/johann_hari_everything_you_think_you_know_about_addiction_is_wrongMy episode on the "Divergent Conversations" podcast with Patrick and Dr. Meg: https://www.divergentpod.com/blog/ep-84Helpful Links:Hire me to speak or as your personal gifted self-discovery coach!: https://sheldongayisbugn.comFree list of Therapists for Melanated and Marginalized Groups: https://sheldongayisbugn.com/#resourcesFree GroupMe Community for Talented and Gifted adults: https://groupme.com/join_group/108040800/igLaxqNGND Connect - Online community for neurodivergent people: ndconnect.appUmbrella ND - Non-profit focused on neurodivergent advocacy: https://umbrellaopensdoors.org/resourcesKeywordsneurodivergence, autism, ableism, addiction, relationships, self-discovery, identity, mental health, awareness, personal growthIntro and Outro music provided by byrdversion1 - "Understand" from the album Nevermore Hosted on Acast.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOAcross America's haunted history, certain female figures appear again and again — not just as ghosts, but as cultural echoes. The Witch. The Bride. The Mother. The Jezebel. The Fallen Woman. The Maiden. The Spinster. More than archetypes, these specters act as a kind of psychic mirror, revealing the fears, desires, and expectations that have shaped women's lives for generations.In this episode, we explore how these recurring identities operate almost like a form of mediumship themselves, channeling deeper truths about the shifting social roles of women in the United States. Though their stories differ in class, background, circumstance, and era, each leaves behind a legacy powerful enough to outlive them — a presence that continues to fascinate, unsettle, and haunt.Their legends endure not only because they once lived, but because they still speak to the shadows society avoids. These spirits remind us that the past is never as silent as we pretend… and that some narratives refuse to stay buried.#TheGraveTalks #HauntedHistory #FemaleArchetypes #WomenInFolklore #AmericanGhostStories #ParanormalResearch #HauntedLegends #CulturalFolklore #SupernaturalHistory #GhostlyNarratives Love real ghost stories?

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy delves into the concerning impact of TikTok and other social media platforms on young users' mental health. Drawing from insights from current and former employees who have raised alarms about the app's popularity algorithm, Dr. Kathy discusses how these platforms may lead children to develop a narrow identity, focusing on specific interests or influencers that can limit their personal growth. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the unseen influences at play and the potential harm to children's mental well-being in a digital age where the reality of their experiences is shaped by algorithms. Tune in to explore the implications of social media on youth and how we can navigate these challenges together. This episode references Dr. Kathy's book Five to Thrive>>

Treat early reporting as provisional, not a completed postmortem.The reported flaw lets an invalid proof receive a cached pass; confidential amounts do not make validity unknowable. OrangeSurf reports one explorer rejected the transaction, with the cause of divergence unresolved.Do not describe this as cryptographically bypassing federation signatures, or assert that Confidential Transactions hid issuance from every observer.Liquid trust model: validation, custody and recoveryThe SpendNode discussion can frame key compromise versus invalid issuance, but its incident details need the qualifications above.Holding an L-BTC wallet key still leaves the underlying BTC dependent on the federation and the system's validation rules. Mainchain self-custody avoids that particular peg exposure; it does not eliminate all software or consensus risk.Pair with Mow's on-chain message chronology: an offer to return most funds is not completed recovery, and an acknowledgement is not proof of a complete patch.Bitcoin Optech #421: Silent Payments for Mining Pool Coinbase Payouts -- Bitcoin OptechPublished: 2026-09-04Explains how mining pools could use BIP352 silent payment addresses to pay miners directly in coinbase transactions, replacing xpub-based payouts and improving miner privacy.

Something new is in the works at Dr. Sarah Hensley Relationship Coaching Services—and in this episode, Dr. Sarah Hensley and Raina are giving you the first sneak peek. For months, the team has been developing a new project designed to take Dr. Hensley's relationship coaching and attachment science to an entirely new level.We can't reveal everything just yet, but here's what we can share.Imagine having Dr. Hensley's coaching framework and relationship tools in one place—along with the ability to assess your attachment patterns using scientifically grounded data, track your own progress over time, and even begin measuring changes within your relationship and partner dynamic.Instead of another online attachment style “quiz” that gives you a label and sends you on your way, this project is being built around real relationship science, measurable progress, and actual behavior change. In this episode, Dr. Hensley and Raina pull back the curtain on: • The new project currently being developed behind the scenes• Why Dr. Hensley wanted to create something beyond traditional attachment quizzes• How attachment and relationship progress could actually be measured over time• The possibility of tracking progress for both you and your partner• How Dr. Hensley's coaching program and tools will fit into the experience• The bigger vision for where relationship coaching—and relationship science—could go nextThere's still a lot we can't share yet. But this is your first look at what's coming next.Subscribe to The Dr. Sarah Hensley Show to follow the project as it develops and be among the first to hear what's coming.Tune in every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert insights, and the guidance you need to navigate love and relationships in today's world.

Hash values, IP addresses, and domains are virtually useless as primary detection mechanisms in the era of AI-driven polymorphic malware and short-lived phishing kits. If your detection strategy is still stuck at the bottom of the Pyramid of Pain, your incident response team is doused in noise while true threats slip through undetected. In this episode, Ashish sits down with Nicole Beckwith, Senior Director of Security Engineering & Operations at Cribl (former Secret Service investigator and Kroger security ops lead), to break down Cribl's open APEX framework. Nicole explains how APEX focuses on behavioral chaining, time-boxing, and clustering over raw telemetry to build high-fidelity detections without needing a thousand individual rules for every MITRE ATT&CK box. We also explore the shift from a "single pane of glass" to a deterministic "single lens" over federated data, why AI agents must be provisioned as true identities rather than unmonitored service accounts, and how to analyze hyper-fast threat archetypes like Anthropic's GTG 1002.

In this episode, co-host Candace Cahootie sits down with Christopher Turk, a leading expert in post-quantum cryptography at KPMG, to unpack the pressing issues facing organizations as quantum technology inches ever closer to breaking conventional encryption.Together, they dive into why Washington, D.C. has become a unique hotbed for quantum security, how government mandates are shaping adoption, and why the real challenge in post-quantum cryptography may lie more in asset identification than in technology itself. You'll hear firsthand accounts of red teaming quantum systems, debates on collaboration across the industry, and practical advice for both regulated and non-regulated sectors. Whether you're a quantum expert or "quantum curious," this episode will give you fresh insights on preparing for a crypto-future—where today's paranoia is tomorrow's best practice.LinksChristopher on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-t-9a259783/Watch on YouTube - https://youtu.be/AP0vKL-2J20Time Stamps00:00 Post-quantum cryptography origins05:34 Cybersecurity threats to financial systems09:18 International collaboration challenges11:15 Changing perspectives on Nvidia14:09 Need for better collaboration in quantum19:57 Enhancing restaurant user experience23:46 Technical vs. compliance focus in PQC26:10 Understanding RSA configuration and security29:56 Challenges in managing cryptographic identities30:53 Discussing Salesforce sandbox integration34:28 Bypassing quantum security measures40:07 Credential Expiration and Security Risks42:27 Discussing security measures for Dingo44:37 Networking and upcoming conferences

Why are you attracted to certain people? Why do some relationships make you feel secure while others trigger anxiety, distance, or fear? And why do the same relationship patterns seem to repeat—even when the person changes?The answer may be found in your attachment system.In this episode of The Dr. Sarah Hensley Show, Dr. Sarah Hensley breaks down the science of attachment in a way that's easy to understand—and explains just how much your attachment style can predict about your intimate relationships.Dr. Hensley explores how attachment influences who you choose as a partner, what you're attracted to, how you experience emotional intimacy, how you respond to conflict and disconnection, and the behaviors that emerge when your attachment system is activated.You'll learn attachment styles—secure, anxious preoccupied, dismissive avoidant, and fearful avoidant—can experience the exact same relationship very differently, and why understanding your attachment style goes far beyond simply giving yourself a label.Attachment isn't just about how you behave in relationships. It's an operating system influencing how you interpret, experience, and respond to love.If you've ever wondered “Why do I keep choosing the same type of person?” “Why do I react this way in relationships?” or “Why does my partner respond so differently than I do?”—this episode will help you begin connecting the dots.

Trek Thunder Kelly has spent his life testing a radical idea: what if you treated your life itself as a work of art? Artist, adventurer and longtime friend and mentor of Tyler Ramsey, Trek has worn a tuxedo every day for a year, lived an entire year in one specific shade of blue, ran for Governor of California, sold his possessions and disappeared into the desert, traveled through more than 80 countries, and turned kindness into an international experiment. Tyler calls it being “recovered from society.” In this episode of Punk Rock Sober, Trek and Tyler talk about choosing the person you want to become, why discipline creates freedom, keeping promises to yourself, knowing when a chapter of your life is over, forgiveness, friendship, sobriety and the surprising power of small acts of kindness. Trek also tells an extraordinary story about meeting a stranger on a cliff in Australia. What began with offering the man a photograph became a reminder that we rarely know what another person is going through — and that something seemingly insignificant can change a life. The conversation turns to Trek's own experiment with sobriety. After being challenged by a friend, he stopped drinking for a year at UCLA — then extended it through all four years of college. For Trek, the larger discovery wasn't simply sobriety. It was learning that keeping a commitment to yourself can fundamentally change what you believe you're capable of doing. They also explore an idea that might change the way you think about getting older: we can “reincarnate” multiple times during a single lifetime. Careers end. Relationships change. Identities evolve. Instead of holding onto a chapter after it has ended, Trek argues that we can consciously author the next one. This isn't just a conversation about recovery from substances. It's about recovering your ability to choose your own life.

In this episode of The Dr. Sarah Hensley Show, Dr. Sarah Hensley and Raina Butcher are joined by Dr. Leslie Dobson, a forensic clinical psychologist, speaker, and author, for an in-depth discussion of the Lindsay Clancy case—a case that has raised difficult questions about mental health, postpartum psychiatric disorders, criminal responsibility, memory, and intent.Bringing both a psychological and forensic perspective to the conversation, Dr. Dobson helps Dr. Sarah and Raina examine the known details surrounding the case and explore some of its most complicated questions. What role could severe postpartum mental illness have played? What happens to memory during a psychotic episode? How do forensic psychologists evaluate a person's mental state at the time of an alleged crime? And how do clinicians distinguish between psychological explanations and legal responsibility?Together, they discuss postpartum psychosis, dissociation, memory impairment, competency, criminal responsibility, and the psychological factors forensic experts consider when evaluating cases like this one. They also examine aspects of the Lindsay Clancy case that remain difficult to reconcile and why understanding someone's psychological state can be far more complicated than labeling their actions as simply rational or irrational.This conversation is not about reaching a verdict. It's about looking beyond headlines and social media commentary to better understand the psychology, forensic considerations, and unanswered questions surrounding an extraordinarily complex and tragic case.In this episode:The psychology behind the Lindsay Clancy casePostpartum depression vs. postpartum psychosisHow psychosis can affect perception, behavior, and memoryWhat a forensic psychological evaluation actually examinesMental illness, intent, and criminal responsibilityWhy memory loss can occur during severe psychiatric episodesThe details of the case that raise difficult psychological questionsHow experts evaluate whether behavior is consistent with a claimed mental stateThe limitations of analyzing a case without personally evaluating the defendantDisclaimer: This episode is for educational and informational purposes only.

HR3 - Falcons defense fighting two identities right now & must make them mesh In hour three Mike, Ali, and Beau continue to recap and react to the Atlanta Falcons beating the Indianapolis Colts in Indy 34-6 on Saturday afternoon in their second preseason game of the year, explain why they think Falcons rookie linebacker Kendal Daniels has been so good that Defensive Coordinator Jeff Ulbrich and the Falcons may have no choice but to start him next to Divine Deablo in week one, and react to the news that Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has been cleared to return to 11-on-11 drills in practice. Then, The Morning Shift crew spends some time with former Atlanta Falcons quarterback, and now analyst for the Atlanta Falcons Radio Network Dave Archer! Ali, Mike, Beau, and Dave discuss what the takeaways should be from the Falcons 34-6 win over the Indianapolis Colts, how Dave thinks the running back room could play out behind Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson, who may get the third running back spot between Tyler Goodson, Nathan Carter, and Cash Jones, what Dave expects the to see from quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. in practice this week when it comes to splitting reps after Penix Jr. was cleared for 11 on 11 work on Thursday, what Dave expects the playing time to look like for Tua and Penix Jr. in the Falcons final preseason game against the Miami Dolphins, how Dave thought the offensive line play looked against the Colts on Saturday compared to how it looked in their first preseason game against the Denver Broncos, and what new Special Teams Coordinator Craig Aukerman has done to have the Falcons Special Teams unit already looking like they're in midseason form. Finally, The Morning Shift crew closes out hour three by talking about what they learned during the show in ‘The More You Know', and by answering people's questions about anything in the Morning Mailbag!

Dr. Sarah Hensley takes a psychological look at the Lindsay Clancy case, examining the complex questions surrounding postpartum mental health, psychotic episodes, memory, and criminal responsibility.What happens to the brain during a psychotic episode?

Life rarely stays still. Careers shift. Relationships end. Loved ones pass away. Health changes. Moves happen. Identities get reshaped. For Christian singles, these major life transitions often arrive with a complicated question: Should I keep dating through this, or is this a season to step back? In a culture that prizes constant relational progress and fears being “behind,” the idea of pausing dating can feel counterintuitive or even fearful. Yet Scripture and wise experience suggest that there are seasons when […] The post The Wisdom of Not Dating During Major Life Transitions appeared first on Christian Singles Advice | Christian Dating Advice Tips.

What happens when a label meant to describe something about you becomes the way you define yourself?In this episode of Jessica Meils the Podcast, I'm sharing more of my lived experience with ADHD and dyslexia—and how being diagnosed in early childhood shaped the way I saw myself for many years.The labels weren't the belief.It was the meaning I attached to them.Somewhere along the way, recognizing that I learned and processed information differently became:I'm not smart.Eventually, that belief became part of my identity.This conversation continues what we've been exploring throughout Season 3: our individual blueprints, intuition, embodiment, and learning to trust the way we naturally move through the world.In Episode 87, The Art of Awareness, I shared how the way my mind works has supported my intuitive and mediumship development.In Episode 88, we explored the birth chart as a blueprint—not a rulebook—and becoming curious about what makes each of us unique.Today, we're going deeper.Through intuitive healing and limiting-belief work, I began separating my ADHD and dyslexia from the beliefs I had created around them.I became more neutral with the labels.From there, I could appreciate the way my brain actually works.I could recognize where something challenged me without turning that challenge into an identity.And I could appreciate my strengths without dismissing what had genuinely been difficult.Today, I see how the way I process information has supported both me and the people I've guided throughout nearly a decade of professional intuitive work.IN THIS EPISODE:​ADHD and dyslexia in early childhood​How labels can influence identity and limiting beliefs​The belief that I wasn't smart enough​Intuitive healing and limiting-belief work​ADHD, neurodivergence, and intuition​Becoming neutral with the labels we carry​Recognizing challenges without making them our identity​Self-acceptance, embodiment, and self-trustThis isn't about pretending the challenging parts weren't challenging.It's about recognizing the difference between:This is something I experience.And...This is who I am.We can recognize where something challenges us without turning those challenges into an identity.And when we loosen our attachment to the story of what something means about us, we create space to see ourselves differently.ROOTED & RISINGRoot deeply.Rise authentically.Trust yourself along the way.WORK WITH ME + WHAT'S COMING1:1 SESSIONSI have a handful of private 1:1 sessions available for August.

Every goal you have requires a new version of you.The question isn't, “How do I get there?”It's, “Who do I need to become?”In this episode, I walk you through the process I use to make every identity shift, from Flight Nursing, to entrepreneurship, to creating a life I truly love.We talk about committing fully, taking massive action, evaluating what's working, and most importantly, learning how to think, believe, and show up as the future version of yourself before the results ever arrive.Because the faster you stop looking back at who you used to be and start pulling from who you're becoming, the faster your life begins to change.If you're ready to stop waiting and start becoming the person who creates the life they truly want, this episode is for you.Click below for info on how to join us inside The Shift, where we build the confidence to step into your next identity.Details on The Shift Book a Consult

I have worn more labels than I care to admit, some earned, many borrowed, and a fair few accepted far too readily. Looking back, I can see they only became powerful because I wove their meaning into the fabric of who I believed myself to be. That quiet habit can keep we introverts living inside identities that expired years ago. This episode explores why letting go is rarely about denying the past and much more about making room for the person you have already become. After all, there is little sense squeezing into a version of yourself that no longer fits.   Key Points

Host Meg Wolitzer presents two works about shifting identities.  In “Voices”, by German writer Daniel Kehlmann, translated by Carol Brown Janeway, a computer technician's mobile phone takes over his life—and not in the usual way.The reader is David Costabile.Writer Chika Unigwe sets a subtle story of social exploitation in the teeming city of Lagos.  The reader is Yetide Badaki, who commented on the story during a backstage interview Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What happens when the person you've always been no longer feels like the person you're becoming? In this deeply thoughtful coaching session, Christine works with Gihan, who is navigating the space between her cultural and familial identity and the life her soul feels called to create. Living with her mother in Cairo, Gihan has been on a healing journey that has challenged old patterns of people-pleasing and encouraged her to question what she truly wants. She feels drawn toward a simpler life—possibly living abroad, spending more time near the beach, and creating a life that feels authentic to her. But that desire brings up a difficult question: Does she genuinely want a different life, or is she simply trying to escape the discomfort of becoming a different version of herself? As Christine and Gihan explore that question, the conversation moves into belonging, identity, family, spirituality, and the tension that can arise when your soul seems to be pulling you in a direction that looks different from the life, culture, or expectations you were born into. Christine offers an important reframe: transformation doesn't always have to be an either/or decision. Sometimes the path forward is both/and—honoring where you came from while also remaining loyal to where your soul is leading you. If you've ever felt caught between who you've been and who you're becoming, questioned whether following your truth means leaving something—or someone—behind, or struggled to honor both your spirituality and your humanity, this conversation will resonate. Press play to discover how you can follow your soul without abandoning the human parts of you that still need belonging, compassion, and connection. Consider / Ask Yourself Do you feel caught between the identity you've always known and the person you're becoming? Are you questioning whether a desire for change is intuition—or an attempt to escape discomfort? Do you fear that choosing your own path could cost you belonging, connection, or approval? Where are you thinking in either/or terms when a both/and approach may be possible? Key Insights and A-Ha's Transformation often requires a period of not fully knowing who you're becoming. Choosing a different path can activate a primal fear of losing belonging. Your soul's desires and your human needs don't have to be mutually exclusive. Spiritual growth doesn't require bypassing difficult human emotions like judgment, fear, jealousy, or uncertainty. Authenticity isn't about becoming a perfect version of yourself—it's about becoming more genuine. Our judgments can become powerful teachers when we get curious about what they're reflecting back to us. How to Deepen the Work Notice when you're framing a decision as either/or and ask whether there's a both/and possibility. When judgment arises, practice acknowledging it without shame and asking what it may be showing you about yourself. Offer compassion to the human parts of you that feel afraid when your soul calls you toward something unfamiliar. Give yourself permission to be in the middle of transformation without needing to immediately define your new identity.
