We often live our lives wearing masks shaped by society, expectations, and the roles we’re told to play. But who are we beyond the personality we present to the world?In this talk, Aarvika explores the journey from personality to individuality the shift from living as a reflection of others’ expectations to embracing one’s authentic self. Through deep insights on awareness and self-discovery, she reveals how individuality is not about separation, but about connection: to our inner truth, to our potential, and to the world around us.Her message is a powerful reminder that true growth begins when we stop performing who we think we are and start awakening to who we really are.
