"You're Not Becoming Something New. You're Becoming More of Who You Really Are." | Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith (EP17)

What if becoming your true self isn’t about change, but about uncovering who you’ve always been? In this powerful episode, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith joins the show to share insights from her new book, Being Fully Known, exploring how societal labels and the fear of vulnerability hold us back from spiritual and personal growth. She opens up about her own journey from clinical medicine to a more fulfilling path, emphasizing the importance of stillness, self-acceptance, and aligning with God’s image. Together, we discuss why rest is more than just sleep—it’s a way of life—and how embracing the seven types of rest can lead to true work-life harmony. If you’ve ever felt the tension between who you are and who you’re becoming, this episode will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and ready to grow.
