The Power of Identity

What story do you tell yourself about your life? What words do you choose to speak to your loved ones? Are you getting undesirable results in your life that you wish you could trace back to the root, so you could fix the problem for good? 

In this episode, Dr. Andy and Curtis discuss how to tell a greater story about ourselves that will ultimately influence who we believe we are. We will dig into what shapes our identity, and how we can reclaim it in order to discover the best possible version of ourselves. 

“If you don’t have a clear identity, your environment will inevitably dictate who you become.”  Dr. Andy
