Becoming Me Again podcast

Becoming Me Again is a kind of life story podcast that focuses on oneself, how a person changes through life experience and reflecting on ones self-image. I interview people about their lives and the moments when they realized something was different about themselves. It could be that they became their ideal self or that they suddenly found they had a strong sense of self. It could also be that they realized they were just a different person.
