When I don't live true or closely to my values, my inauthenticity radar starts ring-a-ding-dinging! Most of my life before the age of 25 years old was having no values or saying I had them but never being able to stick to them. People pleasing and seeking approval came first and as a result my self esteem, confidence and trust in self dwindled. No wonder I struggled to look at myself in the mirror.

Over time, I started paying attention to what truly mattered to me, how I wanted to show up, how I could be proud of myself and like myself. As a result, my values started to come forth and challenge the way I was thinking, feeling and behaving. It's been one heck of a journey and to this day they still challenge me.

In today's episode I share about my path to becoming vegan. I thought this was fitting as it's Be Kind To Animals Week this week and I wanted to share the time it took to finally land in a place where I am congruent with my value of Kindness with regards to animals. To be real, it's been a long road of 9 years to get here.
