How to Find Your True Self with Dr. Kelly Flanagan | The Better Than Rich Show Ep. 39

How to Find Your True Self

Your “true self” or your “inner child.” You’ve heard the term thrown around, probably a lot. But what do these terms mean, really?

You may think theories built around the idea of each of us having an inner child is all fluff.

It’s not.

Learning more about your own inner child will empower you to live a more fulfilling and compassionate life, be a better parent, and have healthier relationships.

According to Dr. Kelly Flanagan, famed psychologist and author of the inspiring book “Lovable” and others, you enter the world as your true self. Then as you grow up, life gets in the way and makes you question your worth.

That’s when you build your “ego castle” and it’s when things get complicated.

We had the opportunity to sit with Dr. Kelly and learn more about why we experience shame, how to rein in your ego and draw forth the right energy to match each situation in your life.

It was amazing to learn that Dr. Kelly didn’t originally buy the concept of the inner child and now his work is based around the very idea of the inner child and its connection to one’s true self.

During our time together, Dr. Kelly showed us why acknowledging the inner child in everyone can lead to more compassion and understanding.

If you’ve been feeling that your ego creates disruption in your life or just want to know about this whole “inner child” idea (believe us, you do) listen to Mike’s interview with Dr. Kelly today.
