Friday Feeling Word: Authenticity 🎙️

Have you ever caught yourself putting on a mask just to fit in holding back your real personality or saying what you think others want to hear? This week's feeling word is authenticity—the power of showing up genuine, real, and true to yourself.

In this episode, Tabatha shares:

✨ The meaning and brain science behind authenticity ✨ Why it's the foundation for deeper trust and connection ✨ Practical tips to be more authentic in conversations, business, and relationships

To help you reflect, here are 3 journal prompts:

1. When do I feel most like my authentic self, and what people or activities bring that out in me?

2. What story, trait, or truth have I been holding back that could help me connect more deeply if I shared it?

3. What boundary do I need to set to protect my energy and show up as my real self more consistently?

Authenticity is your superpower. This week, practice showing up a little more real, a little more you.

In this episode of Rock the F Word Podcast, we're diving into the feeling word: Inadequate—a heavy but common emotion rooted in imposter syndrome, comparison, and past labels that still echo into adulthood.

Tabatha shares a powerful personal story about growing up labeled "the shy one," and how that identity impacted her confidence, visibility, and ability to speak up—even in her personal relationships.

• You'll learn how childhood labels can quietly shape how we show up (or hide) in business, relationships, and life—and how to rewrite those narratives using the Emotional Freedom Framework.

• What inadequacy really means and how it disguises itself in your daily life

• Discover powerful coping tools to add to your emotional freedom toolkit—and begin rewiring the limiting beliefs that have been holding you back.

1. Where in your life or business do you feel "not enough"? What situations trigger that feeling?

2. What proof do you have that you are capable, worthy, and qualified—even if you forget sometimes?

3. If you believed you were enough right now, what would you do differently today?
