Where do you feel pressured to shape shift into another version of yourself to be accepted, please, or fit in? How often do you show up in your life as your authentic self?
This week, Rebecca Fernandez joins us to talk about authenticity and her personal journey that's spanned over years. (Oh, and by the way, authenticity is a natural extension of mindful living and self love.)
Rebecca courageously gives us a view into the painful and lonely years she self sacrificed and "contorted" in order to be loved, valued, and accepted.
She reflects on growing up in a fundamentalist Christian family, going to religious school and how both of these taught her the "rules and price of being different."
We talk about negative self talk, perspective, anticipation, and how they affect the way we experience life.
We explore the societal pressure so many women feel to shape shift and the internal dissonance that swells within us when we abandon who we truly are.
Rebecca shares how being someone besides herself "hijacked a part of (her) that was very positive" and, she brings us into the present day where in her 40's, she's claiming every bit of her authentic self- including her wild ass, fabulous curls.
You'll walk away with three micro-coaching mindfulness tips that will empower you to discover your authentic self and start fully claiming the incredible human that you are.
