116. Why Do I Feel Like I'm Not Being Myself? | Breaking Free from the False Self

In this episode, Johnny Lawrence explores the concept of the adapted self, the identities we create based on our childhood experiences and coping mechanisms.

He discusses the psychological shields we build to protect ourselves, the breaking point we reach when these identities collapse, and the journey towards authenticity.

Through radical honesty and self-acceptance, listeners are encouraged to confront their true selves and live in alignment with their values.

👉Radical honesty and self-acceptance are essential for transformation.

👉Living in alignment with our values leads to authentic living.

👉The self-made course offers tools for personal growth and self-discovery.
