Episode #41 - The Fear of Authenticity & Struggle of Conformity

Why is it that when we’re asked to present to the board, give a talk to your fellow members, or even prep for an interview, we become more consumed with what people will think about us than just showing up authentically sharing our brilliance? Why are we afraid to just be ourselves? Today on the podcast, I’m sharing my own experience with being authentic and what it takes to overcome it.

In this episode of the Midlife Career Rebel Podcast, you'll discover…

  •  What causes the fear of authenticity and the need for conformity.
  •  How we’re designed to what the acceptance and approval from others.
  •  How the changes in our society and technology have made us psychologically unsafe.
  •  Three ways to overcome the fear and step into your authenticity.
  •  How to get the support you need to find your voice and show up powerfully.
