Episode 063 – The Joy of Finding the Real You

Welcome to episode 63, a special episode where we talk all about the journey to finding your true self, and where there be actual joy in the discovery!

We finish out the month where we’ve been talking all about the Journey, with a special conversation with my dear friend and colleague Sonya Thompsen Halsey, a fellow therapist and life coach.  She shares her own journey with us, and we get into how to find the joy in returning to your true self, no matter when in life that happens to be.

Key Elements:

• Address the concept of the journey to find the real you, and how it is never too late.
• Explore how important it is to find a safe coach to guide you through the process.
• Discuss how the joy in the journey is the process itself – how profound it can feel.

“Follow your bliss

and the universe will

open doors for you where there

were only walls.”

-Joseph Campbell
