  Discovering You

  Feb 2023 - now

  Podcast Host

  Every human being was born innocent and with a purpose but a second after you came to this world, you became a victim. You fell into the hands of an adult of your life. You lost yourself and your identity because you have no way of auditing what they were pouring into you. How much more to resist it. There is so much in your upbringing that has distorted your existence and made you become who you are. This is not you, this who you have become and that makes it difficult to answer a question like '' who are you''. You will struggle to answer that question. The day you meet yourself is the day your existence begins. This podcast can't discover who you are for you but it will help you in the journey of discovering who you are.You can listen to the podcast on https://www.buzzsprout.com/2020082/12122730Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5bKEbgNBYPqXwOLkvMkU2w Show less
