322 | if you don't feel like you fully fit in: becoming unwilling to hide who you are

Author: Devoney Kodad, Anxiety Therapist, Self Confidence Coach & Christian Yoga Teacher August 27, 2026 Duration: 14:36

Have you ever felt like parts of you just don't match or fit together?

For example...

I'm sober AND I love to go out, dance, have fun

I'm a therapist who is obsessed with mental health AND I believe faith is wildly important in healing

I'm a Christian AND I deeply believe yoga / breathwork / nervous system based practices are essential to healing

I'm very crunchy & natural minded AND love me some Reeses Oreos

You see what I'm saying?

Have you felt this?!

If yes, today's episode is for you.


Today’s episode is a deep permission slip to:

  • -not fit into every box
  • -be okay not fully feeling like you fit into spaces
  • -own and accept all the parts of you, the weird & the different
  • -become unwilling to quiet and hide parts of yourself to fit in
  • -ditch all the boxes you’ve been trying to fit into
