YOU, Don't Know You!
12m | Sep 7, 2026Self-awareness and getting to know yourself are essential if you want to stop feeling misunderstood. Do you really know yourself? I thought I did until I realized I couldn't always explain what I needed.
I could tell you my zodiac sign, my love language, where I was from, what I did, and all the roles I played. But I couldn't always tell you what I needed to feel seen, heard and loved or why.
And most importantly, what I needed to do, experience or be, to love myself better.
For years, I found myself saying, “They don't understand me.” “He doesn't even know me.” “I don't know why I do that or feel like this."
Then I had to ask myself a harder question: Do I even know me?
In this episode of Under the Beautiful Banyan, I'm talking about self-awareness, self-discovery, feeling misunderstood, getting to know yourself beyond your titles and roles, and why other people can only know you to the degree that you know yourself.
If you've ever felt misunderstood or wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns in relationships and life, this conversation is for you.
Because before we ask someone else to understand us, we have to get intentional about getting to know ourselves.
