Unmasking Freedom: A Chat with David Westerman on The Unashamedly Human Podcast

Well, what has always been there- and some people might call it god, consciousness, awareness, whatever word I would call it myself, but not the self, that who's aging, not the one who's going in and out of relationship or who has a child.
Ever thought about how letting go of your identity might set you free? In this episode of The Unashamedly Human Podcast, Jacquie Forde sits down with David Westerman to explore this fascinating idea. They dive into the concept that by shedding our rigid self-concepts, we can uncover a profound sense of freedom and authenticity. David shares his personal journey of grappling with anxiety and depression, driven by the innocent misuse of our mental faculties—mind, thought, and consciousness.
He talks candidly about how these internal tools, when misunderstood, can create limiting beliefs that trap us in cycles of negative thinking. For David, the path to relief wasn't through clinging to an identity but rather through recognizing who he was not. Jacquie and David also touch on the importance of living in the present moment.
They discuss how our thoughts and feelings don't define us and how embracing this truth can lead to a life filled with love and connection instead of separation. It's a conversation that offers practical wisdom for anyone struggling with their mental health or seeking a deeper understanding of themselves. As Jacquie puts it, 'We live a very ordinary life, yet it's quite extraordinary'.
Tune in for an episode that promises to challenge your perspectives and inspire a more mindful approach to life.
