Season One: Episode 4 // Building Self-Awareness

Self-Aware Millennial

I wanted to take some time to talk about what exactly “self-awareness” is and some of the ways you can begin cultivating it in your own life.

To me, self-awareness is developing a deep understanding of who you are to yourself and in the context of community. It’s a conscious, intimate relationship with your core that, over time, allows you to step into your most authentic self. In simple terms, being self-aware means having clarity about what you like, don’t like, your strengths and obstacles, all with the end goal of living a life your design. When you take the time to know yourself truly and fully, you give yourself all the power you need to live whatever life you want.

But, how do you get there? How do you “get to know yourself” any better than you already do?

There are a lot of ways to do this, and I’ve tried a handful, so I’ll share some of those. I am a lover of science and spirituality, so there’s a healthy balance of both types of solutions.
