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.

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?
