If we're feeling scared, it's our ego talking. We are holding onto some form of identity, and we're meeting something that challenges it. Our ego tells us to get away from that.

But once you realize that it's your ego talking and not you, then you can face it head-on. Keeping the wide-angle on your life to be able to see this in real time requires a unique type of self-care. To give you the tools to have these candid conversations with yourself, I brought on the master of self-honesty: Aubrey Marcus.
