Once again, the clause "who you truly are" is not the object of
anything. It is the subject complement of the infinitive "to become".
Objects appear only after transitive verbs; "become" is intransitive.
Maybe Wanda meant to say "complement" instead of "object". It's easy to
confuse the two terms, but "complement" is more general.
