322. How to feel like yourself again

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Let's be real...too many of us are struggling with a sense of disconnect between who we are in our daily lives and our true selves. We feel like we no longer do the things that set our souls on fire, we have lost what makes us unique, we are bored, we are stagnant, maybe we don't even like ourselves anymore. Today on the podcast we talk about why that may be, including: 

  • The 3 reasons modern society has made us feel detached
  • Why we need to think about our values more 
  • The power of daily intention setting
  • The identity inventory 
  • The self absorption paradox 
  • The best ways to spend you weekend to feel like YOU again 
  • Why you need a bucket list + so much more 

If you want to feel more aligned and alive, this episode is for you :)
