025: The Power of Owning Your Identity with Steven Kuhn

"Your purpose amplifies your identity. It makes you more of who you are because you're working in your identity through your purpose." -Steven Kuhn

Our title or position is not who we are— that's what we do. We all go through phases where we feel like we should act or speak a certain way to avoid offending someone. But living in a period when opinions matter more than authenticity and trends try to shape our identity is a specially crucial time to stay true to ourselves.

When we own our identity, we are empowered to do great things. We know who we are and what we stand for. We don't shy away from our quirks and flaws, rather, we embrace them because they make us unique. We become a force to be reckoned with and we don't need the approval of others to feel good about ourselves.

But showing up our true selves is never easy. If it is, then everybody will be doing it. So, how do we go about owning our identity?

This week, I got to sit down with business advisor, author, and speaker Steven Kuhn and his partner, Olga. Steven and Olga are both powerful individuals and together they're making a difference by uplifting others to a higher frequency.

In this episode, we discuss how we can navigate the journey of finding ourselves and owning our identity. We also talked about projecting our presence, the connection between our identity and purpose, being powerful from within, handling difficult conversations, and the 5 models that can help us build a solid foundation from Steve's book, Unleash Your Humble Alpha.
