Because I Said So—S2E18: You‘re Locked In

We are consistently trying to manipulate the ways that others perceive us, and yet we falter when someone says we've changed or are different than they thought we'd be. In this episode, Kat McBride and I discuss the ways that identity and perception affect every aspect of our lives, both in our internal worlds and our external reactions. Instead of fearing the malleability of our identities, we can CHOOSE to define ourselves instead of locking ourselves into the binaries that are insinuated by what others may innocently describe us as. This episode was so enriching, and it left me with a lot of composure about trying to know myself and giving others the freedom to misunderstand—they see one tile of my mosaic (as Kat says so wisely!)
