Authenticity isn’t about oversharing or performing—it’s about practicing your values daily. And in this episode, we’re getting real about what it means to truly show up, reject the performance trap, and redefine success on our own terms.
I’m joined by Alawna Ozoka—certified life & leadership coach, bestselling author of Awareness Put Me On, and all-around truth teller. We dive into:
✅ Finding contentment in a chaotic world 🌍 ✅ Why rest is resistance—especially in a world that glorifies hustle ✅ The tension between performance culture and authenticity ✅ How to practice self-compassion & give yourself permission to be YOU ✅ The power of community, boundaries, and protecting your peace
We’re keeping it real, unfiltered, and unapologetically human in this one. If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, perfectionism, or feeling stuck in a version of yourself that no longer fits, this conversation is for you.
