36. If You’re Shrinking Yourself to Fit In... Listen to This Immediately

💫 Episode Overview:

In this solo episode, Alescia gets real about the power of authenticity and how owning every part of who you are—flaws and all—leads to freedom, confidence, and magnetism. She shares her personal journey of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and hiding her true self behind partying and external validation. Now, after embracing her quirks (yes, even the "flaws" like talking too much or her natural features), she’s here to help you break free from the pressure to fit in and start living as the most real, raw, and radiant version of you.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to shrink yourself, follow the crowd, or edit who you are just to be liked, this episode is your permission slip to stop.

🔥 What You'll Hear:

✨ How trying to be "perfect" keeps you disconnected from real connection

✨ Why people are actually drawn to your imperfections

✨ How to shift from following the crowd to following your own desires

✨ The confidence that comes from embracing every part of you

✨ Tangible questions to ask yourself to tap into your authenticity

✨ How speaking your truth (even in small ways) changes everything

📝 Reflective Questions from the Episode:

Where am I still holding myself back?

Where am I shrinking to make others comfortable?

How can I start speaking my truth in small ways today?

What parts of me have I labeled as flaws that are actually my superpowers?

🧡 Final Takeaway:

The world doesn't need another copy-paste version of someone else. It needs YOU. Loud, proud, and fully expressed. When you show up as the truest version of yourself, you not only set yourself free—you give others permission to do the same.
