TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
-
Your alter ego is not about “faking it.” It’s about untethering yourself from your narrative and tapping into the traits you already have.
-
The authentic self is a bigger story that you tell yourself. It’s a paradigm we have to be willing to relinquish.
-
Don’t ask yourself, “What are you.” Ask yourself, “What are you made of?”
-
Challenge the idea that change has to be hard. We can decide how we want to act. We can make that transformation in an instant.
-
Only care about impressing yourself, not anyone else. The only thing you can control is how you show up.
-
There’s a genius inside of you waiting to be unleashed. Envision the presence you want to bring and step into it.
-
When you’re an artist, create art. When it’s time to sell, then sell. Honor those parts of yourself when you need them.
-
Follow your blisters, because in your blisters you’ll find your bliss.
-
There is a future version of you waiting on the horizon. What can you do today to make that person high five you and say, “Thank you for the choices you made.”
