We hear it all the time - “Be yourself.”

But in a world full of expectations and unspoken rules, living authentically isn’t always as simple as it sounds.

In this episode, we unpack what authenticity actually means (beyond the fluff), and why so many high-achievers and people-pleasers find it difficult to live in alignment with who they really are.

If you’ve ever caught yourself performing, second-guessing, or holding back what you really want to say, this conversation will help you understand why and give you reflection questions to help you start breaking that cycle.

HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Authenticity isn’t a personality trait, it’s a practice.

2️⃣ It’s not about being blunt or loud, but about being connected to what’s true for you.

3️⃣ You can only be truly successful when you’re being fully yourself.
