[EP 121] The Journey To Becoming Your Authentic Self
•

Season 5

Episode 121
In this episode, we explore what it really means to be your authentic self—especially as a South Asian navigating layered identities, generational expectations, and unspoken cultural rules.
We dive into the Kabbalistic idea of the higher, perfected self—the version of you that already exists on another timeline. What if becoming authentic isn't about inventing yourself, but remembering who you’ve always been?
We'll talk about:
- Why safety—not self-discipline—is the true gateway to authenticity
- How multiple timelines and micro-decisions shape your lived identity
- The tension between cultural loyalty and personal truth
- Reclaiming your voice in spaces where you were taught to stay silent
You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how to start living from your highest timeline, create safety within yourself, and begin the gentle unraveling back to your true self—without shame, guilt, or apology.
