I'm highlighting that we are all beautifully, usually, uniquely perfect, and we need to celebrate that.Points include:Identity, and how it can mask our authenticityHow our unconscious identifications can particularly mess us upHow exactly we can start to connect with ourselvesAnd, why our own voices matter more than what we hear from outside of usI reference in this episode, Elizabeth Gilbert's speech, Flight of the Hummingbird.
