Did you know that while 95% of people believe they’re self-aware, only around 15% actually are?

In this powerful episode of Who Do You Want To Be?, Abha and Sabine unpack what self-awareness really means — beyond simply “knowing how you feel.” Together, they explore emotional triggers, limiting beliefs, behavioural patterns, and the surprising gap between how we see ourselves and how others perceive us.

From parenting triggers and people-pleasing to feedback, emotional intelligence, and journaling, this conversation is a deep dive into the inner work required to grow intentionally in a fast-moving world.
