Bush & Banter
The Beneficial Power of the Alter Ego
In this episode, Jen and Dyana explore the power of creating an alter ego—and how it can help you land your dream job, break bad habits, or even conquer a thru-hike. When life gets tough, stepping into an alter ego can help you get out of your own way and tap into strengths you already have. They share how their own trail personas carried them through the hardest moments, with Jen reflecting on the different versions of herself needed for work vs. personal life—and Dyana introducing us to Tammy Taylor, her confident alter ego born back in fourth grade. Whether you're chasing a big goal or just trying to survive the week, this episode is your reminder that you're capable of way more than you think.
