We cannot talk about authenticity and not at some point talk about the ego and how our self-image plays a role in being true to ourselves.  

Sometimes, our ego can get in the way of being authentic because we may focus too much on seeking importance, significance, or a heirarchy that ensures the illusion of acceptance for the sake of our survival rather than just being who we really are.  

Striking a balance between our ego and authenticity asks us to bring awareness to how are we really showing up? 

While we can perhaps do the work of authenticity alone we will often find ourselves in enviornments and in relationships that provide the right contrast to our belief systems  in order for us to choose if what we have held onto as our identity is in fact true in all settings.

As we journey through life, our authenticity deepens with age, as we shed the burdens of the past and embrace what it means for each of us.  When our authenticity isn't always immediately accepted confront the harsh reality of judging others and ourselves, the incessant need to manage how peope perceive us, and the boxes we find ourselves in from overthinking and projecting. 

In this episode we embark on a soul-stirring journey to explore the true essence of putting authenticity into action in our daily lives and look at the struggles and triumphs of showing up as our genuine selves, even when societal norms and self-doubt try to hold us back. 

Enjoy!
