## Resource

Most of us carry a story about who we are, written years ago, often without our permission. It quietly narrows us, deciding what we're good at and who we get to be. Author and healer Isa Lara Marié explores the self waiting beneath that story, why we wear the masks our families and cultures hand us, and how turning toward yourself with kindness begins to set you free. About the Guest: Isa Lara Marié is an international bestselling author, spiritual teacher, and healer with over 35 years of practice. She is the founder of Eternal Grace Ministry and author of First Light. Key Takeaways: Much of our identity is a role our family and culture handed us. Waking up to "this isn't me" can be shocking, and freeing. Ask: what am I doing to belong that isn't true for me? Real transformation needs aloneness, which isn't the same as isolation. Breaking the old rules brings fear; meet it by turning toward yourself with kindness.
