What truly is personal growth? We have Jake Kauffman to discuss the relationship between personal growth, beliefs, and identity. As Jake explains what drew him to personal growth, he dives into how you can re-discover your identity by navigating personal limiting beliefs and re-surfacing subconscious beliefs that were embedded throughout childhood. Jake offers tools along the way to help you approach the dynamics between emotional, social, and physical pain. Through these discussions, he offers insight into the ego, the concept of admired identity, and the 3 D's: Disease, Divorce, Death. Briefly touching base with the neuroscience of physical and emotional pain, he explains the nuances within the topic of personal growth and what it means to be your truest self. Let's dive in!
