What is the purpose of the Free & Well podcast and who is the host?
Hey friend, welcome to the Brain Well Podcast. Are you ready to feel more peace and more confidence? Are you ready to stop second guessing and overthinking so you can be more outgoing, say yes to the adventures and put yourself out there more? Well you are in the right place. My name is Devony. I'm a therapist, a faith-based yoga teacher, and a dog mom. And I remember being right where you are. Everything changed for me when I started blending mental health, faith, and the nervous system. In every episode, I'm going to share with you nuggets from my experiences in the mental health field and my own raw and perfect real-life lessons to help you feel more calm, rewire your brain, and own who you are so that you can start being who God created you to be unapologetically.
Grab yours coffee, let's try it.
Hey love, good morning. Okay, really fast, before we dive into the episode, just wanted to let you know that through August third we are running a giveaway. I'm so excited.

So today we're talking about how you do not need to become someone else. You do not need to become someone else. I think there's so much content out in the world that's like optimize, get better, do better, be better. And it can be really easy to fall into this trap of I need to be this this person, right? To have this vision of like, okay, I need to be this version of myself. Right, or I need to be that I don't know, there was like this term going around that was like that girl or I don't know, whatever it was.
You can tell how good I am at keeping up with things. But just this idea of like there's someone that you're supposed to be, right? Like you're supposed to have these habits, you're supposed to do these things, you're like that there's this vision, okay? And I'm going to challenge that right now. And I want you to even take a moment and notice, cause this can even be very subconscious where we don't even realize that we are having this expectation of ourselves. So I want you to pause and even just genuinely ask yourself, am I expecting myself to be a certain person? What are the expectations that I have? Or something that I would explore would be like when I am making myself feel bad or shaming myself for something, what is the expectation that's there?
And I wanna share with you the two pieces of what is actually true.
Why does the host argue that you don’t need to become someone else to grow?
Okay. If you are devoted to growing, to healing, you're here in this space for that reason and you're devoted to that, right? I wanna share with you the two pieces that we actually want to be focusing on, okay? You do not need to become someone else. So let's imagine, and this is a conversation I've genuinely had, is like people who are just naturally very introverted and they're like, I want to feel more confident, right? And having this conversation around you don't we never want in coaching and therapy on this growth journey, we never want to encourage you to be someone that you are not. We never want to encourage the naturally introverted person to go out and try to be life of the party and out all the time, socializing all the time.
If you hate heights, I'm never gonna say, Hey, why don't we try rock climbing? Like, we are not trying to be someone else. Okay, the two things the two things that we actually want to focus on is Feeling so clear and grounded in who you are. Getting so clear and grounded in who you actually are, your gifts, your strengths, your weaknesses, all of the things.
