Don’t Mistake Your Ego for Your Person

In today’s episode of The Authentic Edge, Toks Aruoture reflects on a personal moment that revealed the quiet yet powerful difference between ego and identity. Through a simple memory triggered while driving past a familiar spot, Toks explores how we often mistake a bruised ego for personal hurt—and how this misinterpretation can quietly shape our decisions.

 

If you’ve ever found yourself avoiding opportunities, turning away from challenges, or replaying old moments of embarrassment or offence, this short but powerful insight will speak directly to you.

 

Tune in to learn:

• The difference between ego and your true self

• How to avoid self-sabotage disguised as self-protection

• Why recognising emotional bruises for what they are can free you to grow

 

This episode is a gentle reminder that your true self is stronger than your ego—and doesn’t need constant defending.
