Today, she shares her personal journey of creating her identity through various adversity that she has faced. During the episode, Bethany shares her experience as an adoptee as well as her journey to reunite with her birth parents and the exploration of truth as she discovers pieces of her identity that went undisclosed for decades of her life. Bethany shares how her life experiences have set the stage for who she is as a parent and how that translates to the various ways she advocates for others in the world. She is so generous with sharing her story and life to help others connect and heal. Her journey has helped her define and own her identity, hence the episode's name. Bethany is owning who she is and had designed the identity that is true for her.
