Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? This episode of Gangaji Podcasts, titled "Being Yourself," explores the often perplexing question of what it truly means to be oneself. Gangaji and host Hillary Larson delve into the intricate layers of identity, questioning whether we are defined by our roles, successes, or failures. With light-hearted anecdotes and deep reflections, the conversation encourages listeners to pause and consider the masks they wear daily.

Gangaji shares personal stories of her own journey through various identities and the eventual realisation that true freedom comes from letting go of preconceived notions of self. The episode offers a refreshing perspective on the importance of embracing uncertainty and finding comfort in the unknown.

This discussion promises to resonate with anyone who's ever felt out of sync with their surroundings. So, how do you truly define yourself when you strip away all external expectations?
