At this stage all she has revealed is that she believes that there is an inner core, essence or nature that is an unchanging part of us (which doesn’t sound like a topic for the psychology and mind forum).
I don’t think you will get any, and I don’t mean that they would lie intentionally to others, when they have to assess themselves. First they lie unintentionally (more or less) to themselves. Whenever people tell you who they are, you have to read very carefully between the lines.
And on a forum like this, most people chose which kind of impression they want to give to others. It would be no point to give you an honest answer in this thread if it differs much from the way they want to present themselves here, or how they want to be seen.

No, that sums up your participation in your words with your intent punching each letter on your keyboard. The context doesn’t change your beliefs about me for those are clearly stated. You play games-noted.
The argument diverted from its direction at some point. Start at anti derivatives. Essential derives from essence, so what determines the inner core is what is essential, to your existence, for you to have evolved in the first place. Your circumstances changed through the genealogical progression of your family tree, forming new forms of adaptation, using the tool essential to well being. The earlier forms of adaptations cannot be derived, except using earlier modes of adaptation, since some were abandoned along the way.
Because you cannot become aware of it, since it’s not personal in the sense that it was self created, or caused. It is what has primarily shaped or determined you, but it is a hidden life-motif, which has a seemingly hidden power.
One Liner thinks that there is no essence and he thinks that is the only correct point of view. Anyone who disagrees and does believe in an essence, “has an agenda” which is being forced onto others.
