It is who you truly are, at your deepest core.\u00a0\nHowever, internal elements of ourselves can be lost piece by piece because of a lot of external factors. They chip away slowly until you can\u2019t recognize yourself anymore.\u00a0\nIn this episode, we delve into the importance of having the courage to be your authentic self and what it means to have a loss of self.
