EP37 - Unmasking the Ego: Who Are You Beneath The Labels?

What’s the difference between your ego and your authentic self? This week I dive into understanding these two parts of us all, and share how self-awareness has transformed my life when it comes to noticing the ego.  I break down the misconceptions about ego, clarifying its role in our lives and how it forms your self-identity. I discuss the emotional masks we all wear, like the "positivity mask" or the “perfectionist mask”, uncovering where these masks may stem from. And I also talk about the ego's inner criticism, and how detaching from this can lead to genuine growth and a more authentic connection with yourself.  In this episode you will learn: What the difference is between the ego and the authentic self How to understand the ego as a mental construct, not just arrogance, and its role in forming self-identity Ways to recognise and manage emotional masks for genuine self-connection What gives us the illusion of control and how to embrace imperfections How you can identify the ego's role in inner criticism and judgement Techniques for fostering authentic self-awareness and personal growth - How are you going to practice noticing your ego?
