There’s so much chatter about “authenticity” and “just being yourself” online these days that it’s kinda starting to lose meaning. Of course you should be yourself online, but often people mistake being “authentic” with being vulnerable. Some people like to share everything about themselves with their followers, some people don’t! We’ve also seen a lot of people conflate being authentic with just being an asshole. At the end of the day, it’s important to stay true to who YOU are in every moment, and what YOU want to share, rather than what some rando on the internet tells you is “real” authenticity. 
 What the hell does “authenticity” even mean? [0:55] Authenticity and vulnerability are not the same [2:15] Dramatics get more attention [4:47] “Just be yourself” is harder to do than you think [9:39] Ownership is sexy [12:04] Creating teaches you about yourself [16:05] Finding peace in who you are [18:32] You need people to feel safe with you [21:42]

We’re in need of online etiquette coaching, and quickly. We grew up being taught that if you can’t saying anything nice then you shouldn’t say anything at all, but that doesn’t seem to fly on the internet anymore. Our name for it is drive-by trolling: some stranger rolls into your comment section, says something so incredibly rude (that they’d never say to your face), and then gets mad if you try to defend yourself. And of course, they face no consequences for their asshole behavior. We’re sure it’s just a way for them to feel significant or important in some way, but we’re sick of being kicked around by some stranger on the internet that doesn’t have the confidence to share their own lives online. Maybe it’s time for some internet hall-monitors?

Ep. 486: If You Don't Have Anything Nice To Say, Don't Say It At All

You get to choose your partner, but with them comes their family, and you certainly don’t get to choose your in-laws. So what do you do when there’s tensions between you and those in-laws and your partner doesn’t stick up for you? Family is family, so you can’t force your partner to choose between you and them, but there are ways to feel heard and at the very least, protect your peace.  
 To side with your parents or your spouse [1:49] Both sides need to make concessions [3:49] Your partner should never isolate you from your family [8:40] It doesn’t have to be a choice [9:42] You have to communicate why it’s important to you [11:07] You chose your partner, so stick by them [13:31] Enforcing boundaries needs consequences [15:33] You may not get approval, but you can try for acceptance [17:41] Ways to take back your power [18:36]

Ep. 485: The Trouble With In-Laws

We may have worked through our dieting obsessions and pushing our bodies to extremes, but that doesn’t mean everyone else has. Every now and then we see another person, stuck in the same cycle of food and body obsession that we were on in our younger years, and we can’t help but feel sad for them. Everyone has the right to the full life experience they desire, but seeing someone trapped in a mindset that hurt us for so long is difficult to watch. That’s why it’s so important to stay mindful of the ways we think of and talk about ourselves—after years, we’ve made peace with our bodies, and we’d like to keep it that way. 
 Things fall apart after 40 [1:43] The extremes of body image [5:41] Have the full experience, but know the downsides [8:34] The slippery slope [11:44] The benefits of muscle [14:08] Why an obsession with the scale hurts you [17:12] Is it okay to want to like the way you look? [19:37] Going to extremes to change our looks [22:24] Being mindful of extremes [24:26]

Ep. 484: Staying Mindful of Body Obsession Extremes

When you grow up a woman in this society, there are a number of ways we get socialized—to feel like we have to earn our worth, to second guess every choice we make, to hate our bodies, or that we’re never good enough. But when you realize that you have the power to change your thoughts, a whole new world of possibilities opens up for you. Today we got to chat with Kara Lowentheil of the UnFuck Your Brain podcast about her new book and her mission to help women get out of their own heads, own their experiences, and take up the space they deserve. Getting your mindset “right” is a huge part of living up to your highest potential—your best life—but it doesn’t have to be inaccessible and it doesn’t have to be “woo woo.” We can all take charge of our experiences, no matter how society has taught us we “should” behave.
