Oh boy, I did a word of the year class and my word for 2026 is Authentic!

And I am thinking, how much more authentic can I be? And I'm kind of scared of what might happen if I do reveal more of me.. what will happen in my relationships, work, family?

Tune into this week's podcast and hear my thoughts about being scared of being authentic and why it's important to do it and practice it anyway.

I have been practicing authenticity since I started working on my drinking 8 years ago. I decided I was going to share that I struggled with alcohol, publicly. And that helped me feel more real and authentic with myself. I needed to be done pretending that everything was perfect, because that is not real.

Some people might not like it when you become the real you and share what doesn't work anymore, because it will make them be faced with their own need to take responsibility for themselves, AND THAT IS OK.

I hope you enjoy this podcast episode.
