Most of us spend decades performing, pleasing,and seeking validation. We twist ourselves into who we think we should be — only to feel disconnected, anxious, and unseen.

But midlife offers a powerful invitation: to stop abandoning yourself and start living authentically.

In this episode of A New Way to Love, Live & Lead, I share my own journey of moving from people-pleasing and codependency to embracing authenticity as the foundation for self-love and healing.

You’ll learn:

• ​Why authenticity is the most radical act of self-love in midlife.
• ​How to release people-pleasing, codependency, and validation-seeking.
• ​The 3 A’s of authentic living: Awareness, Acceptance, and Alignment.
• ​Why authenticity isn’t selfish — it’s service.
• ​How living your truth heals relationships, builds self-trust, and unlocks freedom

💡 Reflection Question: Where in your life are you still hiding, performing, or people-pleasing — and what would it look like to show up as your authentic self instead?
