Are you living for other peoples’ expectations of you or only showing a certain version of yourself to the world because you want people to “like you” or you want to be accepted? Do you ever fear losing friends if you were to speak your mind or feel like you’re completely alone because you don’t think like others do or feel the same way? Insane authenticity - being completely yourself in a world of programming, social media, and group think (especially during such a divisive and polarizing time as now) can be really scary. Most people don’t do it, and frankly most people can’t do it because they don’t know themselves well enough to actually be themselves. In this episode, I go deep into why knowing yourself; having the courage to objectively face yourself and be yourself; and staying true to your values and integrity is freedom. When you stop caring what others think about you and letting that shape your truth, you get to be the REAL you and there is nothing more freeing than that.
