  • Summary

  • Welcome to the Becoming Who You Truly Are podcast! We all come into the world as unique personalities. Personalities that come from a part of us which existed before we were born and continue long after death. But while we’re on Earth, with all its joys and wonders and mountains and waterfalls and people and animals and rainforests, well, it seems like we get so excited by the playground that we forget that deepest part of ourselves. And we start to live life from a less true place. And then, slowly, slowly, the merry go round stops spinning and things get real difficult. I started my YouTube channel almost two years ago because I wanted to help myself and others rediscover who we truly are. Because I believe that when we become who we truly are, we reconnect to our deepest creativity and vitality and we’re able to make a better life for ourselves and others. Through my YouTube channel, I’ve shown you places around the world and shared how they helped me reconnect to and become more of my deepest self. Now, in this podcast, I’m going to bring in people: the people who have helped me in my journey to becoming more of who I am. People who are walking their own gloriously imperfect path to authenticity. People that I admire, respect, and want to introduce to you! My hero, Carl Jung, once wrote that, ”The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are,” and I hope that through this podcast, we’ll all learn a little more about how to live life the best we can. Not as others see fit, not as prescribed by a doctor or society or expectations, but as pure and unique as possible! Becoming Who You Truly Are is, in a way, the simplest thing in the world, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Therefore, it’s super helpful to have good companions along the quest, and that’s exactly how I hope you’ll think of me and my guests! I can’t promise a bed of roses in this podcast, but I can promise to engage your curiosity, make you laugh, and have conversations that provide you with the flexibility to see life in a new light! Together, we’ll laugh, cry, and everything in between as we explore how to create a life of deep meaning and authenticity. So, whether you’re tuning in on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify, thanks for your support, and together, let’s go further down the journey of becoming who we truly are!

  • How to set boundaries and say no - she lived in FOUR countries before she finally learned how!

    How to set boundaries and say no - she lived in FOUR countries before she finally learned how!
    Jun 25 2024

    This week's guest, Camille Brattli, grew up in the Philippines in a very tight-knit family unit and church community.

    There wasn't enough room for her to say no and be herself, so she spent her twenties living in Thailand, the Netherlands, and Norway before she finally gained her sense of self and learned how to say no.

    Camille's story sheds light on ways that we can learn to identify when others are pressuring us to conform into people pleasing and she gives insight on how we can learn to deal with the discomfort inherent in saying no and setting boundaries.

    Find Peace in the Midst of Pain, It's Okay to Beat on God's Chest, and Have a Grace Revolution!
    Jun 18 2024

    This week, I am honored to be talking to Lana Jernigan, who helped raise a whole generation of youth group kids through her long tenure at a summer camp ministry near Fayetteville, NC called Camp Dixie!

    Lana was one of the few adults who actually seemed to make sense to me when I was a teenager, so naturally, she made a huge impression on me and I thought it would be fun to have her on the show to reminisce together and to hear about the turning points in her life’s journey that brought her closer to a life of authenticity.

    Lana is a mother, grandmother, and recently moved to Georgia to start a new adventure as Director of Operations for Trueface.

    In this episode, Lana is going to get real with us about how peace and pain can co-exist in the middle of loss, why it’s ok to beat on God’s chest, and how God’s grace changes everything. I’m sure that by the end of this hour, we’re all going to be inspired by Lana’s story, which will prove that God loves us and wants to launch us into the dreams he has for us!

    Q + A l War, Gay Teens, Happiness, Job Satisfaction, Morality, Norway, Dogs, and More!
    May 30 2024

    To celebrate ten episodes of the Becoming Who You Truly Are podcast, my friend Morgan Thompson asked me questions that you, the listeners, submitted!

    We talk about a range of subjects from maturity, my new adventure starting my first job in Norway, how to live a happy life, how to stop war, why it's so hard to find a good job, our favorite classical instruments, ethical dilemmas, morality, learning Norwegian and American Sign Language, and whether or not humans can love dogs.

    Then, we hone in on a letter that a listener submitted where she asks for advice on how to help the gay teen in her life. We discuss what gay teens need, whether God loves gay people, whether being gay is a sin, bible passages about homosexuality, and why we love God.
