what does it mean to be authentic?

underneath all the ego, cultural conditioning, fear, and limiting beliefs that keep us living in the same small patterns and loops -- who are we? what is our truth? what are we here to create?

in this episode we explore the ways we can use our intuition and imagination to craft a life and a self that is uniquely ours -- a life that is true to our path and the essence of who we are deep down.

some of the things we discuss ::

• the power of living the truth of who we are -- with visibility and vulnerability -- in order to gain access to a deeper life
• what authenticity means, and how we can access more of it
• why we hide, reject and deny parts of ourselves (and why this is such an assault on our authenticity)
• a vow that i made to myself and my husband 16 years ago when we became parents (and have never broken)
• a personal story of embarrassment, and the power of embracing truth no matter how uncomfortable
• the specific instruction my soul gave to me after my spiritual awakening in 2015
• a potent question to ask ourselves when we feel disconnected from the depth + aliveness of our life
• how to reorient our center of gravity from our head to our hearts + bodies
• how to liberate ourselves from the shackles of "should" and reclaim a deeper, wilder instinct for taking action in our lives
