In this episode, MaryBeth, a sensitive person raised in a conservative household with 8 siblings, where there were a lot of boxes to check, expectations to fill, and rules to follow, shares how that was all confining and confusing, and set her on a path of not needing things, shrinking herself, and people pleasing. For most of her life she felt like she was always too much and never enough, and felt like she didn’t fit in. Now a self-proclaimed multi-faceted, hot mess with ADHD, MaryBeth finally figured out that she doesn’t need to fit in, and she courageously reveals her personal journey to embracing her free spirit, and accepting and allowing who she really is, and where she still struggles with being her authentic self. Now she has a podcast about empowering women and focuses on helping others go from stuck in a life that feels like someone else's to becoming fierce through messy action, baby steps, and cultivating confidence.
Take Aways
1. Stop pushing yourself to fit into a box and be here for all that isn’t that
2. The in between time is life. It’s not about arriving anywhere
3. Let it be a mess because life is messy and “that’s correct”
4. Transition and change are constants in life, we aren’t always going to be in the same type of transition, everything is a season, and everything is temporary
5. Let yourself be a blob sometimes with no demands – you have to listen to the episode to get this one! Ahhhhhahahaha!
6. Let you be your choice. Stop abandoning yourself. Choose yourself and what you want
7. Ask yourself where the demand is coming from. Give yourself permission to stop placing demands on yourself
8. Being inauthentic is constantly reinforced from all angles in our society. It takes mindful, courageousness to be authentic
9. There are so many opportunities every day, big and small, where you can choose to be authentic, choose authenticity
10. Being productive does not determine your worth. The fact that you are breathing determines your worth
