Unmasking Ourselves: Conversations with the Imposter Within

Lives of Courage with Jessica Stong

In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the hidden depths of our identities, exploring the imposter that lurks within us all and the shadow self that we often ignore. Drawing on the profound insights of Brennan Manning's "Abba's Child" and Thomas Merton's wisdom, we discuss how our false self can blind us to our true potential and hinder our connection with our highest selves.

We distinguish between the imposter self and the psychological phenomenon of Imposter Syndrome, exploring how each affects our perceptions of self and accomplishment. We offer a unique homework assignment - a letter to your imposter - as a tool for self-reflection, self-understanding, and ultimately self-acceptance.

Join us on this transformative journey, as we learn to unmask our false selves, embrace our authentic selves, and cultivate a deeper, more honest relationship with ourselves, with others, and with the Divine.

This episode is not just a listen, it's an invitation to introspection and growth.
