Episode 104
Are we who we show up as on social media? What does authentic really mean… what do we care about what people think of us? Does it matter?
As we’ve grown older and into ourselves, we find it easier to accept who we are and why we do what we do. Maybe it’s partly because we know what doesn’t work and we don’t want to just fit in any more.
Authenticity may be an overused word in social media AND art, but it could be time to consider what it means for us and why it matters.Thank you, too, to all who listen, DM, send messages and have made the last nearly four years so much fun with #artchatterpodcast

Brené Brown:the opposite of belonging is fitting in. Fitting in involves changing oneself to be accepted, while belonging means being accepted for who you truly are. True belonging requires vulnerability and embracing your authentic self, whereas fitting in relies on performing and adjusting to expectations
