#4: You Don't Need to Become, You Need to Remember with Megan Dalla-Camina
"The essence and purpose of our lives as women is not to become — it is to remember."
We spend our entire lives trying to become. Become what someone else wants. Become the perfect mother, wife, employee, friend. Become acceptable. Become enough.
But what if you don't need to become anything? What if everything you need is already inside you, buried underneath years of conditioning?
In this conversation, globally recognised women's leadership expert Megan Dalla-Camina introduces the 13 inner critic archetypes keeping us stuck, and explains the crucial difference between becoming who others want us to be and remembering who we truly are.
This is about naming the forces outside us (patriarchy, power, systems not built for women) and the stories inside us (the inner critic we've internalised), then choosing remembrance over endless becoming.
Key Quotes
"We're always trying to become something else. But I really believe that we know — we have that knowing inside of us. We know what our true self is."
"What was driving my “good girl behaviours” was my fear of tolerating the discomfort of disappointing someone."
"What is the cost of your inauthenticity? It can cost us everything."
"Keep a 'should list.' Which of these shoulds are mine? Which are somebody else's?"
