"Just be yourself!" has got to be one of the most grating phrases known to mankind.  At least it is to me. And not just grating, but wildly unproductive.

Recently a listener DM'ed me with the following: I clam up when I don’t want a guy to think I’m interested.

The muting then left her feeling hollow and uninspired. What gives? Why do we do this?

In this episode we explore:

• The roots of these edited versions of ourselves, be they a type of muting or some other performance
• Why we tend to turn 'on' these version of ourselves when we're around someone we like
• How we can work to dismantle these behaviors and settle more into ourself

This episode will resonate if:

• You struggle to "Be yourself" slash question even what your "true self" is
• You tend to clam up, feel awkward or become anxious around someone you're into
• You've historically struggled with codependency, enmeshment and other tangled behaviors

I Think I Like You The Group (!), DM me if you're interested.
