Identity. One word that we all can relate to and we all, at least at some time, have struggled with or will. Nowadays we all may be finding ourselves wearing a mask in public but perhaps we already were wearing another one. Is it really that difficult for us to grasp our own reality, to come to terms with how we see ourselves and how we think others perceive us to be? In this episode, Chase and May discuss how throughout various seasons of life our truth can come under question and how we can take actionable steps today to consciously choose not only how we define our identity but bring that into alignment with others' perception of us as well.   Follow May @mayyazdi Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Ever Forward Radio is made possible by our proud partners!

This very special episode is meant to highlight what is possible when we stop accepting our circumstances as ultimatums. Casey Adams, fellow Virginian, is an incredible example of what is possible when you decide to take your life and your future into your own hands by putting yourself on the path of personal development and saying "Yes!" to opportunities that others may not think twice about. While he was a sophomore in high school something happened that would change the direction of his life forever. He was diagnosed with interspinous ligament damage while playing football and was told that he could have potentially been paralyzed. During this time in his life he was told by the doctors that he would never be able to play football again. This was shocking news because football was his absolute passion. Furthermore, he was told that he had to be in a neck brace for over 10 weeks. All of this negativity came into his life so quickly and he became very depressed and had no idea how to handle the situation. This was the turning point in his life that changed the direction of his future.   Follow Casey @casey Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Ever Forward Radio is made possible by our proud partners!
