When we identify with being a thing, when we have that story that we're being told we are, even if it's coming from us, there's often a lot of resistance because it's scary to go away from it to kind of tend to do something else.
Have you ever felt boxed in by labels? In this episode of 'Recover Yourself: Out from Under the Influence', comedian and speaker Karith Foster dives into the complex world of identity. Foster, known for her wit and wisdom, challenges the notion that our identities are fixed. Instead, she suggests that clinging too tightly to any one label can hold us back from truly experiencing life.
With a mix of humor and insight, she explores how societal expectations, social media addiction, and even cancel culture shape our sense of self. Foster doesn't shy away from the tough topics, addressing how systems like justice, education, and commerce play a role in our struggles with addiction. But it’s not all heavy; she leaves listeners with a hopeful message about embracing change and finding purpose.
If you're ready to rethink how you see yourself and break free from the constraints of rigid identities, this episode is a must-listen.
