Who Are You, Really?
Recorded after Ray and I spoke together at a global health and fitness conference, this is one of the most personally exposing episodes in the whole series. I admit, openly, to something I had been doing quietly for a long time.
I told Ray about eating an entire Toblerone on a plane, and connected it, in real time, to Hannah's own one indulgence, smoking, the single thing she ever did purely for herself in a life spent giving to everyone else. We also worked through a genuinely useful exercise, two columns on a page, where am I and who am I, that I had actually done on the flight over.
In this episode:
- Why fame and possessions never actually fulfil people from the inside, however much they accumulate
- Admitting, openly, to eating an entire family sized Toblerone on a plane
- Connecting my own comfort eating to Hannah's one private indulgence, smoking
- The where am I, who am I exercise, done honestly on the flight to Los Angeles
- David Goggins, and what it actually looks like to reject comfort entirely
Pull quote: "The easiest thing we can be is ourselves, and the hardest thing is to be something we're not. However, the world teaches us the opposite."
Come and join me and Ray for Episode 30, the final episode of this stretch, where we ask what it really means to stand up for your own authenticity.
