Your Story, Your Path: Breaking Free from Expectations & Rediscovering Yourself

Are you living a life that truly feels like your own, or have you unknowingly adopted someone else’s story? In this episode, we explore how external narratives—whether from society, family, astrology, or past conditioning—can shape our sense of self and keep us disconnected from our truth.

You’ll learn how to:

• Recognize where you’ve absorbed limiting narratives.
• Differentiate between external labels and your authentic self.
• Release stories that no longer serve you.
• Reconnect with your unique path and purpose.

Like the lotus rising through the mud, you have the power to shed old layers and step into your own light. It’s time to reclaim your story.

Thank you for being here. Until next time, remember: alignment begins now.
