What if you could rediscover and unlock your unique design–the brilliantly original way you think, feel, relate, and make choices. And as a result, you’d be free from comparison, envy, and jealousy, which sink us into depression and actually destroy brain tissue. What if you could actually rewire your brain to function the healthy state in which it was designed? Well, today, you’re going to learn how, through our guest, bestselling author and speaker, Dr. Caroline Leaf. After today’s conversation, you’re going to learn how to become aware of what’s going on in your own mind and body, to lean in to your own experience rather than trying to forcefully change it, and even learn how to redefine what success means to you. What will be the result? You will be released from the suffocating box of unhealthy expectations, and in turn embrace your true identity and develop a clear sense of divine purpose in your life.

Knowing and understanding your identity empowers your choices. Unlocking your true identity quotient is not optional–it is essential.
