Do you edit parts of yourself out of relationships because you're afraid of how people will react? Do you self-silence when you know what you have to say might not be pleasing to others? There is real discomfort in showing up authentically because it means risking rejection from the people we’re closest to. But the alternative comes with its own pain: the sadness and loneliness of not being seen for who we truly are. Neither type of discomfort is easy to face, but in this episode, I share how you can choose between them and take small, brave steps toward relationships where you can be fully seen. Here’s what I cover:

• The two types of discomfort that people pleasing creates in relationships
• Why it’s easy to choose authenticity in some relationships but not others—and why that difficulty is completely normal
• A personal story about a friendship where I felt the pull between hiding and being seen
• Why loving the parts of yourself that used to hide is essential for change
• Questions to help you identify where you can choose authenticity in your relationships
