In this episode of the I Am Self-ish podcast, host Will Wright explores the internal struggle so many face on their journey toward authenticity and personal growth. He speaks to the quiet tension between who we were taught to be and who we truly are, reminding listeners that becoming who you are meant to be often requires letting go of what no longer fits.

Will discusses the fear of not being liked, the pressure to please, and the emotional weight that comes from trying to live up to other people’s expectations. He challenges listeners to consider what parts of themselves they’re still holding onto out of obligation or fear—and what could open up if they finally released them.

This episode is a powerful invitation to stop performing for acceptance and start living from alignment. Because becoming your true self isn’t about adding more—it’s about releasing what’s in the way.

Memorable insights:“You can’t become who you’re meant to be while clinging to who you were.”“The fear of not being liked will always keep you smaller than your purpose.”“Authenticity starts where approval ends.”
