BALANCING AUTHENTICITY AND EXPECTATIONS | Noticing and navigating the internal struggle between our authentic, true selves and expectations from society and others.

Unpacking Myself

In this episode, I talk about the intricate layers of our identity as individuals. I start with the concept of our "true self," free from ego and insecurities, and how it connects us to a shared humanity, and then go into the authentic personality we all possess versus the image we sometimes feel pressured to project. I share some personal experiences as I uncover the blurred lines between our authentic selves and the personas we adopt due to external pressures or expectations. I share red flags I noticed in myself for when there is a misalignment between our actual authentic selves and external expectations being masked as authenticity.
