The importance of finding people who are weird just like you!

Unleashing Us

If you are on a quest to find a balance between your work life, love life, and life in general, while staying true to yourself, then you’re in the right place. In this episode, Matthew Cooksey and Salma Salah discuss how it feels when we’re on the right path, how to get there, and the importance of having our kind of people in our circle.

Salma is a Senior Innovation Manager at PwC. She is a relentless optimist, a hardcore visionary, and one of the kindest people you could meet.

On your path to self-discovery, consider this:

“The key to owning yourself is not about hiding your true self, but about becoming weird with people who are weird with you, being in the right circle that gets your weird. Then you are no longer the outsider, but the insider.”

Listen to the full episode to learn how Salma discovered her own path to authenticity, the struggles she faced, and ways that can help you overcome the challenges in your own path of self-discovery.

About Matt:

Although I was born on the 23rd February 1980, my life only really got started on the 23rd February 2010. Until that point, I felt lost, disorientated, and afraid. That day, life called time on my self-obfuscating ways. And I finally came to see that I wasn’t lost in life, I’d lost touch with my true self.

I discovered that Authenticity was about authorship, so today me and my team are on a mission to create a world where every human being is encouraged and supported to create a life that’s true to themselves.

I live in Melbourne, Australia. I’m married to a hunky doctor called Fil and together we have a beautiful son called Niko.
