Fifty Feminist States

In this episode, 2021 Fifty Feminist States Podcast Fellow Mary L. Chang discusses how to get started in recognizing and understanding your authentic self. She encourages all listeners to take the time to be honest with themselves about the things in their world that are no longer in alignment with the person they are today. Mary shares important realizations about long-held beliefs that she absorbed from outside influences, how they affected her self-esteem and career path, and how saying goodbye to these beliefs has given her newfound freedom to make her own choices and live her best life. Mary also talks about the importance of identifying the passions that light you up, as they hold the key to your happiness. Links:Mary’s websiteMary’s blog post on this episode’s titleMark Groves’ online class Becoming a Boundaries Badass (I’ve taken it, it’s excellent!)Finding and Living Your Truth, by Ilene Strauss Cohen, Ph.D.What It Really Means to Take Care of Yourself, by Ilene Strauss Cohen, Ph.D.Lyndon Stephens, c
