Or is there a way to write "be yourself" or "be who you are" in latin?

I think it means: "what is this"

A simple explanation for "esto qui es" would be "be who you are" or "be yourself". It may not be completely grammatically correct but it comes close.
The following website which is a Laatin forum gives a clearer indication of just how difficult Latin translation can be. They also have come to this conclusion.

Can you tell me the author? This doesn't seem to be written in idiomatic Latin, but that might just reflect my limited knowledge.

I am reminded of a quotation (I can't recall the author or where I read it, but it sticks in my mind) "etiam quod esse videris" which I take to mean "Be who you seem to be." Based on that, you might say "etiam quod es."

I'm not sure if you're trying to translate to "Latin" or "Spanish"

Latin = Exsisto quisnam vos es
Spanish = Sé quien to éres.
