Why you feel disconnected (even when everything looks fine). 

 

Ever catch yourself in a moment and think, “That wasn’t really me…”?

That’s not you being fake.
That’s you operating from persona—the curated version of you that once got love, praise, or safety.

In today’s episode of The Science of Self, I talk about something I explore deeply in my work with clients: Why we become who we’re not.

Here’s what we cover:

  • Why the persona forms in childhood

  • The signs we’re living from it today

  • Why it keeps us disconnected from love—even when it’s present

  • And how to begin returning to the us underneath the strategy

This isn’t about shame.
It’s about compassion. The persona served you.
But maybe now it’s keeping you from the relationships and peace you crave.

Now I understand the importance of gratitude, but that needn't equate to m...

Every behaviour, no matter how unhelpful it might seem, exists to fulfil a need. These patterns are our mind and body’s way of coping, protecting, or ...
The Compass Within: Trusting Your Intuition
What if the answers you’ve been searching for aren’t outside you but already within? Intuition is often misunderstood as something mystical or rare, but the truth is that it’s a skill we all have. The challenge lies in reconnecting with it amidst the noise of daily life.   Here are four insights to help you strengthen your intuition, deepen self-trust, and move closer to a life that feels align...
