ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What makes up your identity and how much of it do you consciously choose? In this episode on the beautiful book The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett, explore the many complex ways we shape our own identities and create ourselves. Invite all parts of yourself to the table and take a closer look at how you identify yourself and present yourself to the world, just like the characters in this novel do throughout their own stories.
This episode is a reminder of the ways that we can shape our own identities and concepts of ourselves—in fact, we must. "You didn't just find a self out there waiting. You had to make one. You had to create who you wanted to be," Bennett writes. That act of creation is at the heart of each our of lives. It's how we define ourselves and our experiences.
When you meditate with this episode, you'll meet with the parts of yourself you have hidden away and the parts you are most fond of. You'll leave this meditation feeling empowered and in touch with yourself.
