In this episode, Alison continues the conversation on authenticity and dives into what actually gets in the way of living as your true self. If you've ever felt like you're "too much," "not enough," or like your life looks good on paper but still feels empty, this is for you.

She explores how childhood programming, people pleasing, and good girl conditioning slowly pull you away from your authentic core. Alison shares her own story of being a spirited, high-energy child who learned to shut herself down to feel safe, and how those early experiences turn into adult patterns like perfectionism, emotional suppression, and staying small to keep the peace.

Inside this episode, you'll learn:

• The difference between programming vs. authenticity

• How people pleasing and saying "yes" when you mean "no" disconnects you from your true self

• Why your nervous system equates authenticity with danger when you grew up feeling unseen or unsafe

• The subtle difference between your ego's loud fear voice and your authentic core's quiet truth

• A simple, powerful practice to reconnect with what's true for you right now

If you feel stuck, disconnected, or like you've shape-shifted your way through life, this episode will help you start coming back home to yourself, one small, honest step at a time.
