Listen here Thursday!

Our identity is the sum total of our perception of ourselves: our beliefs, our stories, including both our personal and ancestral narratives. In other words, “Who do we think we are?” But how accurate is our self-perception? Often, not really. Our identity affects who we marry, how much money we make, where we live, what we allow in our lives, and much more. I'm so excited to have Larry Ackerman on the Cafe to share with us his groundbreaking work on identity. You will be inspired and enlightened! Come join us.
