SOME questions need an audience.

Most people are living by assumptions they never consciously chose.

My conversations dig beyond the conditioning, cultural narratives, and inherited beliefs shaping how we see ourselves and the world around us, then ask what happens when we stop accepting them as the norm.

featured conversation

YOU'RE NOT WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE

What happens when you realize that much of what you call “you” was handed to you before you even realized it was happening?

Sheena Schuler takes audiences into the uncomfortable space between identity and conditioning, examining how family, culture, survival, institutions, expectations, and experience become woven into our understanding of who we are. Rather than offering another formula for “becoming your best self,” this conversation asks a more disruptive question:

How much of the self you're trying to improve did you actually choose?

WE'LL EXPLORE

  • How inherited beliefs quietly become identity

  • Why self-awareness isn't the same thing as self-knowledge

  • The difference between adaptation, conditioning, and conscious choice

  • What happens when the version of you that worked stops working

  • How questioning what you've inherited creates room to decide what actually belongs to you

  • What it means to move through the world from authorship rather than programming

Because the goal isn't to leave the room with a better version of the person you were told to be. It's to leave questioning whether that person was ever entirely yours in the first place and deliberately decide what you carry forward from here.

how much of you is actually you?

  • BUT WHO TOLD YOU THAT?

  • THE FORBIDDEN FEMININE

  • THE RIGHT KIND OF WOMAN

  • SURVIVAL SKILLS AND A SMILE

  • WRONGS DO MAKE A RIGHT

  • JACK OF ALL TRADES, MASTER OF YOU

  • THINGS YOUR GRANDMA SHOULD HAVE TAUGHT YOU

  • NOPE.

  • FUCK IT, LET'S GO.
