It’s another edition of "Keepin' It Real with Real People" featuring the incredible Amrita Mukherjee.

This episode, "Comfortable in My Skin – Living in Your Skin with Ease," is a powerful conversation about identity, self-acceptance, embodiment, and what happens when life forces you to slow down and really look at who you are.

Abby and Amrita talk about the expectations and cultural patterns that can shape our identities, from the careers we're expected to pursue to the roles we're taught to prioritize. Amrita shares how growing up in a strict household, building a corporate career, and becoming intensely focused on success eventually led her to realize she had lost sight of what truly mattered, including her own health and presence with her family.

Then came a life-changing accident, a long recovery, and a hospital room that gave her something she hadn't had in years: time to stop, reflect, and ask what she actually wanted from her life. That experience shifted her perspective from simply achieving more to being more present, intentional, and connected to the people she loved.

This is a conversation about remembering that you are more than your job, your relationships, your responsibilities, or anyone else's expectations.

Because sometimes life doesn't ask you to become someone new.

It asks you to finally come back to yourself.
