Summary

Certified Life Coaches Dex Randall, Dr. Sonia Wright, Zayne Khan, and Chris Hale share their amazing insights on what identity actually is, how we shape our identities to fit in, and the power of deciding to be ourselves.

Find out how being “othered” might impact your experience and how to balance your desire to fit in with the desire to accept yourself for who you are. We discuss how living with one or more marginalized identities is laborious, but it’s also an act of activism, and share the importance of having compassion for yourself as you do this work.

0:19.8	Hello my beautiful friends, welcome to the podcast today. I'm so excited about this one.
0:27.0	And here's how it started. We have a whole group of us that are here.
