Podcasts about authentic self

In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast, I'm breaking down what it really means to design the blueprint for an extraordinary life—one that's not built on perfection, striving, or comparison, but on authenticity, alignment, and self-leadership.

In this episode of the Next Level Healing Podcast, Dr. Tara Perry engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Joel ''Gator''Warsh, a board-certified pediatrician based in Los Angeles who specializes in integrative medicine and parenting wellness. The episode begins with a stark statistic highlighting the paradox of the U.S. healthcare system: despite spending more on health and healthcare than any other nation, the country experiences some of the lowest health outcomes. Dr. Warsh shares his insights on the alarming rise in chronic diseases among children, attributing it to factors such as increased screen time, decreased physical activity, and a diet dominated by ultra-processed foods.The conversation delves into the impact of social media and screen time on children's mental health, with Dr. Warsh advocating for limits on technology use to foster better emotional well-being. He stresses the significance of sleep and the cumulative effects of daily health choices, urging parents to take an active role in their children's health by prioritizing whole foods and minimizing processed options.This is an empowering episode you don't want to miss!Work with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every week for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

In this episode of the Next Level Healing Podcast, Dr. Tara Perry had the pleasure of interviewing her friend Estella, whom she met at a Dr. Richard Bandler NLP conference. Estella's journey of overcoming a severe snake phobia in less than an hour serves as a powerful testament to the transformative potential of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).The conversation begins by reflecting on Estella's intense fear of snakes, which had previously dominated her life to the point where she avoided any mention of them, even on television. Dr. Tara shared her excitement about the opportunity to help her confront this fear, especially since she was not afraid of the other phobias we were addressing that day, such as spiders, heights, and public speaking.Estella recounted her experience leading up to the moment she had to touch a real snake. Her heart raced, and she felt a mix of horror and disbelief at the thought of facing her fear. However, through her session, Dr. Tara was able to guide her past her resistance, and she ultimately found the courage to not only touch the snake but to embrace it. This breakthrough was not just about the snake; it symbolized conquering fears that had held her back in various aspects of her life.Work with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every week for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast, I'm sharing one of the most powerful transformations I've ever experienced—what happened when I met my Inner Critic face-to-face in the vortex energy of Sedona. From the moment “Worrying Wilhelmina” showed up, trying to make everyone happy and fix what wasn't mine to fix, I was invited into a deeper truth: that real safety doesn't come from control or perfection—it comes from presence, trust, and self-compassion.

I'm so anxious and don't know how to face my boss's evaluation."Zh: “有时，我们太过专注于与他人竞争，反而忽略了自己真正的强项。”美的语气沉稳中透出一丝智慧。En: "Sometimes, we focus too much on competing with others and overlook our true strengths," Mei spoke with a tone that was steady yet brimming with wisdom.Zh: “诚实地展现自己，比模仿他人要有力得多。”En: "Honestly expressing yourself is far more powerful than imitating others."Zh: 在柔和的灯光下，魏捧着温暖的茶杯，慢慢地品味着这番话。En: Under the soft light, Wei held the warm teacup, slowly savoring these words.Zh: 突然之间，他明白了继续让自己不安的是竞争，而不是他的能力。En: Suddenly, he realized it was the competition, not his abilities, that continued to unsettle him.Zh: 吐出长长的一口气，魏决定在评估中不去顾虑亮，也不去模仿他人，而是专注于自己的成长和优点。En: Releasing a long sigh, he decided that during the evaluation, he would not worry about Liang nor imitate others but would concentrate on his own growth and strengths.Zh: 几天后的评估会上，魏不再拘泥于浮夸的表现，而是真诚地分享了自己对团队发展的想法。En: At the evaluation meeting a few days later, Wei no longer confined himself to exaggerated displays but instead sincerely shared his ideas for team development.Zh: 他的老板看到他这样的真诚和清晰，微微点头，露出满意的微笑。En: His boss saw his sincerity and clarity, nodding slightly with a satisfied smile.Zh: 评估结束后，魏极有信心地走出了会议室，心中一片坦然。En: After the evaluation ended, Wei walked out of the conference room with great confidence, feeling at peace within.Zh: 当老板宣布他获得晋升时，他意识到自己所展现的不只是工作上的成就，还有真实的自己。En: When his boss announced that he had received the promotion, he realized he was showcasing not just his work achievements, but his true self.Zh: 从那一天起，魏懂得了，不必与人攀比，也不需给自己施加压力。En: From that day on, Wei understood that he did not need to compare himself with others or place undue pressure on himself.Zh: 真实的自己，才是最有力的竞争力。En: The real self is the most powerful competitiveness.Zh: 茶店外的秋风依旧轻轻拂过，而美的茶香仍然如故，安宁地弥漫着。En: The autumn breeze outside the tea shop still gently swept by, and Mei's tea fragrance remained the same, peacefully lingering.

This week's topic is one that is challenging to turn into actionable practice - but it is ultimately the single most important thing you can do to feel purposeful and complete in life. And that is to return to a place of authenticity inside. To distinguish between your own voice, and all the ways we were conditioned by society or the others around us. We have never really been taught how to shift our awareness from the outside world back to ourselves - so the time is now. Tune in to begin.

It goes straight to the energetic blueprint that's coded in your DNA. This energetic blueprint happened at your birth, as subatomic particles moved through your body and imprinted your DNA. It's the map that's going to lead you back to the most authentic version of you." — Emma Dunwoody "We think we know who we're meant to be and what we're meant to do and we really don't. We can't see that big picture. When you start living more in alignment with your Human Design, you learn to tap into the body, and you're constantly told in every moment what is right for you and what isn't." — Emma Dunwoody "Our purpose is bigger than the job that we do. Our purpose is our energy. Our greatest purpose is just to be our most authentic self, because then we are fulfilling the puzzle piece we need to fulfill to move to this new world." — Emma Dunwoody

Fresh from the 2025 IFS Conference and in celebration of the podcast's 100th episode, I sit down with my friend and fellow IFS enthusiast, Tammy Sollenberger, for a lively and heartfelt debrief. In true synchronicity, we somehow kept signing up for the same seminars—without ever comparing notes beforehand. We talk about our parts, our paths, and maybe a touch of destiny. Tammy opens up about what it's like to be an “IFS celebrity” (yes, we said it!) and the part of her that found it difficult to fully surrender as a participant in sessions while being so publicly known in the community. I share about my socially anxious parts and how they showed up throughout the conference, and together we explore how our systems reacted to the intensity, the beauty, and the vulnerability of being surrounded by hundreds of other parts and protectors in one big IFS field. I also share some clairvoyant messages that came through for both of us — intuitive nudges about healing, alignment, and the unexpected ways our friendship continues to unfold inside and outside the IFS community. This episode is a blend of reflection, laughter, emotional honesty, and gentle self-discovery — just what you'd expect from two friends who speak IFS fluently and love exploring the edges between psychology and soul.   What We Talk About How we kept accidentally attending all the same IFS conference seminars Tammy's experience of being an “IFS celebrity” and the protector that kept her from full vulnerability as a participant My socially anxious parts and how they showed up in crowded conference spaces The parts of us that got activated during the conference — and how we worked with them Our individual experiences as presenters Tammy's real-time vulnerability: sharing about her romantic breakup in her presentation and how her system responded Clairvoyant messages and intuitive insights that came through for both of us Takeaways, integration, and how the IFS model continues to deepen our friendships and inner awareness   About Tammy Sollenberger Tammy Sollenberger is an author, podcaster, and psychotherapist. She's a Certified IFS Therapist and Consultant who loves helping people new to IFS discover their Authentic Self. Tammy co-authored a chapter on the Enneagram and IFS with Joan Ryan in the book Altogether Us: Integrating the IFS Model with Key Modalities, Communities, and Trends.

Welcome to episode #1004 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). What does it really mean to lead with values when so much of modern business seems built on quarterly results and surface-level culture? Robert Glazer has spent his career proving that sustainable performance isn't just about financial results. It's about the alignment between who you are and what you stand for. As founder and chairman of Acceleration Partners (a marketing agency), Bob built a company repeatedly recognized as one of the best places to work. Beyond the accolades, he is an author of seven books, including Elevate, Elevate Your Team and his latest, The Compass Within: A Little Story About the Values That Guide Us. In this conversation, Bob explores the central role that core values play in authentic leadership, how formative experiences shape decision-making and why self-awareness is the foundation of both personal and organizational growth. He explains how parables and storytelling can make complex business ideas more memorable, why mentorship still matters in a polarized and tech-driven world and how the rise of AI is intersecting with deeply human questions about meaning, integrity and belief. Bob reminds us that values are not slogans for walls or websites but active forces that define culture, guide behavior and ultimately determine whether leaders and organizations thrive or falter. In an era where data can overwhelm judgment and polarization can fracture trust, his work pushes us to examine whether our actions reflect the values we claim to hold, and how to close that gap.

David Mehler dismantles the myth that men must change who they are to be happy. Instead, he invites listeners to embrace every part of themselves and learn the art of exchanging into a more authentic version. Through personal anecdotes and a powerful story, he shows how ownership and small daily choices lead to profound transformation.

In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast, I'm diving into what it really takes to become the creator of your destiny. For so long, my Inner Critic kept me stuck in loops of doubt, overthinking, and the search for certainty—making me believe I needed proof before I could trust myself. But everything changed when I learned how to unhook from that old identity, stop feeding the noise, and embody the calm power of my Authentic Self. From that stillness, life began to reorganize itself in ways I could never have forced. ✨ If you've ever felt torn between the pull of your vision and the weight of your fear, this conversation will show you how to step into neutrality, trust, and freedom.   Your weekly reflection questions: Where am I letting my Inner Critic overrule the future self I say I'm becoming? If I acted today from the version of me who already has what I want, what one small decision would change? Which value am I living by right now—my Inner Critic's (control/approval) or my Authentic Self's (peace/purpose)—and how can I shift in this moment?

I was recently a guest on The Mindful Journey with Sana, where we explored the power of inner child healing and what it really means to reparent ourselves with compassion. In our conversation, I shared my own story of growing up in a toxic home and how those early experiences shaped my path as a healer and mentor.We talked about how unresolved childhood stress often resurfaces in adulthood—through relationships, work, and even our inner dialogue—and why forgiveness, compassion, and safe community are essential in breaking free from those patterns. I also offered practical tools for reparenting the inner child: gentleness breaks, self-kindness practices, and ongoing conversations with the parts of us that still long for care.This episode is a reminder that healing isn't about erasing the past—it's about becoming the loving, nurturing parent we always needed, and learning to carry that presence into our daily lives.Support the showStay Connected with Vandana Light Healing :✨ Website: vandanalighthealing.com YouTube: @VandanaLightHealing Facebook: VandanaLightHealing Podcast: Hope & Healing LinkedIn: Vandana Atara Noorah Instagram: @vandana_light_healing Amazon Author: Vandana Atara Noorah

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this episode of Recover Your Soul, I open up about the real and sometimes painful work of loving ourselves fully—both the light and the shadow. We live in a world that says “be authentic,” while at the same time pushing perfection through filters, quick fixes, and unrealistic expectations. It's no wonder we feel torn between who we really are and who we think we're supposed to be.Through the lens of Soul Recovery, we explore what happens when we stop criticizing ourselves with words we'd never say to a friend, and instead begin practicing self-compassion in real life. Together, we'll look at the deeper patterns and beliefs that keep us stuck in not-enoughness, and how those wounds can finally be revealed and healed.Your soul already knows the truth—you are whole, holy, and perfectly enough as you are. When we choose love over fear and release the need to live up to others' expectations, we remember our sovereignty and step into our unlimited nature.Join me in this conversation about authenticity, aging, self-compassion, and the courage to honor yourself for exactly who you are. You are remembering your wholeness, and in that remembering, you are free.This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not allied or representative of any organizations or religions, but is based on the opinions and experience of Rev.

Who is the authentic you? Some people feel like they remember being an authentic self at some point, and I feel many never experienced it. But I feel we all long to just be comfortable being us. What does that look like? How does it feel? Following is a conversation I had with Dr Thema Bryant. Thema is a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at Pepperdine University. She's an ordained minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. She earned her doctorate from Duke University and completed her postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School. In the world of academia and psychology she is royalty. When we recorded this conversation, Thema was president-elect of the American Psychological Association. She is now president. Other top psychologists look to her for guidance. Thema has half a million people following her on instagram because she is her authentic self. You'll find her dancing and see her efforts in-play to decolonize traditional psychology and meld science, spirituality and faith, and our very humanity. Thema has a book called, Homecoming: Healing Trauma to Reclaim Your Authentic Self,  and here we take a very base look at the real world issues and hope for today's mental health desires.

In this episode, I'm sharing what really happens when you dethrone your Inner Critic—when the old identity built on fear, doubt, and constant striving finally loses its grip. For years, I lived with that background static of overthinking and chasing certainty, believing it was just who I was. But when I learned how to step into stillness and neutrality, everything shifted—my nervous system calmed, my peace deepened, and new possibilities began to emerge effortlessly.  ✨ If you've ever felt trapped in the noise of your Inner Critic and longed for a quieter, more powerful way to live, this conversation is for you—tune in and hear how you can access the same freedom.   Your weekly reflection questions: When my Inner Critic gets loud, what exact thoughts and body sensations show up—and what changes when I simply observe them instead of fixing them?   Where in my life am I still chasing certainty or external proof, and what would neutrality and self-trust look like in that same moment?   If I stopped feeding the old “noise” for just today, what small action or stillness practice would align me with my Authentic Self?  

As I mentioned in the previous episode, we are going to be looking into the foundations of the NeuroHarmonic Method, which we are continuing to prepare for its upcoming release. Again, a lot of personal growth insights are going to be presented to you, practical and uplifting ideas that you may find to be deeply valuable. In that light, let me take you back to something I came across many years ago, a powerful framework that continues to guide me to this day. It's called the Four Quadrants of Knowledge. On the surface, it's simple and easy to grasp, but its importance runs deep, especially when you get to the last quadrant. And while we all intuitively know these categories, we often take them for granted. Quadrant One Quadrant One is what you know that you know. If you own a car, you know what make and color it is, what the keys look like, how to start it and so on. You know where you live, if you have kids, and thousands of things like this. These are all part of the first category: what you know that you know. Easy enough. Quadrant Two Quadrant Two is what you know that you don't know. If someone asked me to assist in a heart transplant surgery, I'd refuse because I know nothing about it and I know that I don't know. Same thing with rebuilding a carburetor and countless other skills. This category is huge for all of us, and we're all pretty clear about it. Of course, these two can be a little tricky because we have a tendency to trick ourselves, but that's a different story. Quadrant Three Quadrant Three is what we know, but don't realize that we know. This often shows up in the form of forgetting. You stumble across an old sweater in a drawer, one that used to be your favorite but you'd completely forgotten about. The knowledge was there, but buried. Sometimes this happens with skills we once practiced but let fall away, and so forth. Quadrant Four Quadrant Four is the most critical to understand, yet also the hardest to fully grasp. It is the realm of what we don't know that we don't know. This quadrant presents a major challenge, because it always remains in the domain of mystery — filled with both unseen opportunities and hidden dangers. We don't need to dive too deeply into Quadrant Four just yet, because the rest of this episode will make its significance abundantly clear. So let's begin. Every society, in its own time, has believed it was the most advanced ever. And in a way, that makes sense — we can look back and clearly see the history behind us, and we can measure how far we've come. But the future? That always remains in the unknown, and all we can do is speculate. And how big is Quadrant Four? How vast is the realm of what we don't know that we don't know? Well, the answer is obvious: we don't know. A Glimpse Back in Time So, with all this in mind, let's take a little trip back in time and see what appears to us. Imagine walking into the White House in the early 1830s. The floors are creaky and the rooms are still dimly lit with candles. It's far from the glittering palace that exists in our collective imagination. But, for its time, it was astonishingly modern. In fact, it boasted something most Americans of that era could hardly dream of. It had running water. And not only that – hot running water. That's right. The White House, in Andrew Jackson's presidency, became one of the very first buildings in the world to enjoy plumbing on such a scale. By 1833, a spring at Franklin Square fed water through iron pipes, supplying reservoirs in the mansion. There was even a bathing room fitted with a cold bath, a shower, and—this was the marvel—a hot bath, heated by great copper boilers stoked with coal. The Astonishing Contrast Now it's hard for us to grasp what a marvel this level of luxury truly was, but in the early 1830's it was nothing less than astonishing. At the time, most Americans drew their water by hand—from wells, outdoor pumps, or streams—and lugged it in heavy buckets to their kitchens or washrooms. Heating that water meant chopping wood, tending a fire, and waiting as iron kettles slowly came to a boil. Even in wealthy homes, servants trudged up and down stairs with sloshing pails, and a single bath could take hours to prepare. Against this backdrop of labor and inconvenience, the sight of water flowing instantly through pipes—already heated and ready for use—seemed almost magical. It was not just a convenience but a symbol of modern progress, decades ahead of what ordinary families would experience in their daily lives. The Hidden Tragedy But with this, something strangely tragic unfolded in the White House over the next thirty years. A black shroud of grief descended upon it, as three unlikely deaths darkened its halls. And those deaths came about for one simple reason: the people of the time didn't know what they didn't know. You see, the spring that fed the White House pipes stood just a few blocks away from what was called a “night-soil dump” — a polite 19th-century phrase for a sewage pit. That's right: a large amount of human waste was regularly dumped into a pool not far from the very spring that carried water into the White House. Before Germ Theory You may or may not realize that this time period was a good fifty years before the significant understanding of germ theory began to dawn on the world. In those days, people believed that bad odors — so-called “miasmas” — caused disease. The idea that invisible microbes in water could make someone sick wasn't even remotely conceived of. So yes, the development of a running water system was real progress — but wisdom had not yet caught up with it. They simply didn't know what they didn't know. And the result began to take its toll, with three famous examples that stand out in history. Case One: William Henry Harrison At his inauguration in March of 1841, William Henry Harrison delivered the longest inaugural address in U.S. history — nearly two hours long in the raw March wind. For generations, history books told us that he caught pneumonia that day and died a month later. But recent medical historians see it differently. They point to clear signs of enteric fever — a typhoid-like illness consistent with sewage-contaminated water. In other words, Harrison was likely undone not by the cold weather, but by the White House plumbing itself. Case Two: Zachary Taylor Fast forward to July of 1850. President Zachary Taylor had just attended Fourth of July celebrations, where he enjoyed a bowl of cherries and a glass of iced milk. Within days, he fell violently ill. Newspapers of the time reported “cholera morbus” — a catch-all term for gastroenteritis. Taylor died within the week. While it's impossible to prove with certainty, medical historians now believe his death also fits the pattern of a waterborne illness, consistent with the contaminated spring that supplied the White House. Case Three: Willie Lincoln Perhaps the most heartbreaking related event was the death of Willie Lincoln, the beloved 11-year-old son of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln. In February 1862, while the Civil War raged, Willie fell ill with typhoid fever. He lingered for weeks, weakening day by day, while his parents tended to him engulfed in agony and fear. He died in the White House on February 20. Doctors and historians agree: the likeliest culprit was the contaminated water. Once again, the very pipes that delivered incredible modern convenience carried the seeds of immense tragedy. Abraham Lincoln, wrestling with the fate of a nation, now had to wrestle with the loss of his beloved child as unthinkable grief was delivered by a seemingly advanced invention. The Lesson of Quadrant Four So, what does all this mean for us? Well, this brings us back to knowledge — especially the fourth quadrant: what you don't know that you don't know. The White House water story of the 1830s makes it painfully clear that technology without wisdom isn't progress at all — it's peril. And tragically, this is just one of countless examples throughout history where what people didn't know cost them dearly. The Modern Parallel To take this to the next level, let's draw a parallel to our modern world today. And let's put a focus on our awareness, on the inner life of the human mind, which is truly a double-edged sword. Because while our mind has been the source of all the developments that have come into being to help elevate humanity, it has also been responsible for creating much of the misery that we suffer today. With all this in mind, here's a key question: might we also be drinking contaminated water? From an environmental perspective, of course, that's an urgent issue in its own right. But in this scenario, I'm not talking about what flows from our faucets. Contaminated Thought Water What I mean is the streams of thoughts and feelings that flow into our consciousness every single day. The rushing current of fear, anger, worry, resentment, self-doubt, and negativity — a polluted current we so often drink from without ever realizing its toxicity. Just as the 19th-century White House residents poured crystal-clear water into their cups, unaware of the microbes within, we pour “thought water” into ourselves every moment. It looks clear — it feels like simply “my mood,” or “just the way I am.” But this inner negativity carries powerful pathogens of a very different kind. The Physiological Cost Modern brain science reveals that every thought and feeling we experience sets off reactions within us. Neuropeptides and hormones are released, stirring inner uneasiness. The body absorbs them. The nervous system reacts. The immune system bends under the strain. And the brain itself rewires according to the repeated currents of negativity. Not a healthy scenario. And all the while, society around us treats these inner toxins as normal — and we accept them. Why? Because we don't know what we don't know. The New Germ Theory But modern neuroscience is beginning to catch up, just as medicine once did with germ theory. We now know that chronic negative thought patterns release cascades of stress hormones: cortisol, adrenaline. We know they rewire the amygdala toward hypervigilance, reshape the hippocampus toward fear-based memory, and even shorten telomeres, the protective caps on our DNA. We know that unrelieved emotional stress contributes to heart disease, metabolic disorders, weakened immunity, and depression. We know that rumination — the habit of chewing endlessly on worries — can be as corrosive to the brain as cholera was to the gut. But here's the rub: just like the White House in 1833, our society is rife with technology, but not yet with wisdom. We drink contaminated thought water every time we scroll through doom-laden headlines, replay grudges, or compare ourselves to seductive illusions curated online. We immerse ourselves in hot and cold running negativity, unaware of the pathogens at work. Toward Mental Hygiene So what if we proposed a new “germ theory” — not of the body, but of the mind? What if we said: thoughts are not just harmless, invisible puffs of energy. They are agents. They shape physiology. They carry consequences. The lesson of history is that once people understood germs, they learned sanitation, filtration, hygiene. And humanity's life expectancy soared. The lesson for us is the same: once we understand the pathogens of thought and feeling, we can develop practices of mental hygiene. Practices that enhance our awareness of Breath. Gratitude. Presence. Practices that filter the mind's water before we drink. And the positive upsides for us are enormous. NeuroHarmonics and the Authentic Self This is where NeuroHarmonics comes in. At its core, we speak of the Authentic Self — the indwelling presence that remains uncontaminated, untouched by the masks and playacting of daily life. And from this Authentic Self flows a constant, steady stream of truly pure water. The first goal of the method is simply to help us notice the difference — to tune our attention toward the infinite source, the wellspring of clean water, instead of the sewage-tainted supply that reckless habits and unconscious living keep delivering to us. Closing Reflection The poisoned water saga of the 1800s was a true tragedy. But today, we face a new kind of germ theory — one that speaks to the makeup of our inner awareness. And with it comes a profound realization: we have a choice about what we consume within. And the pure, clean water of the Authentic Self is always available — if only we choose to turn to it. This is great news, because on the deepest level, what we need isn't just clean running water. What we need is living water. Well, that's a lot of information, so let's bring this episode to a close. As always, keep  your eyes, mind and heart open, and let's get together in the next one.

Let me know your thoughts on the show and what topic you would like me to discuss next.The weight of expectations has crushed the authentic spirit of countless men. We perform, achieve, and conform—wearing masks that grow heavier with each passing year—until we barely recognize the face in the mirror. What would it feel like to finally shed those expectations and reclaim your true self?This transformative episode dives deep into the silent crisis facing modern men: the disconnect between who we truly are and who we've been told to be. Through powerful insights and vulnerable storytelling, we explore how the pressure to "man up," provide, and remain stoic creates an exhausting performance that leads to burnout, anxiety, and fractured relationships.We challenge the dangerous assumption that achievement equals identity, revealing how society rewards men primarily for productivity rather than authentic presence. When your sense of self is built entirely on what you do rather than who you are, what happens when circumstances change? The answer often involves existential crisis and profound loss of direction.The journey toward authenticity isn't about rebellion—it's about reclaiming oneself. Through Mark's powerful story of transformation, we witness how one executive stopped pretending and started living in alignment with his values, dramatically improving his marriage, leadership, and sense of self. This isn't about abandoning responsibility; it's about redefining it on your own terms.Ready to break free from the prison of others' expectations? We offer five practical strategies to begin living authentically today: taking an identity inventory, practicing rather than performing, embracing discomfort as growth, finding truth-tellers, and auditing the "shoulds" that unconsciously run your life.Take the first step toward becoming unapologetically you.

We're living in a time of information abundance (sometimes information overload!) and lots of that information is about mental health, wellness, and relational health! But there's a difference between consuming content and integrating it. When we consume, the information might just pass through us. Whereas when we integrate, the information weaves its way into our unique story or situation. This creates insight and the potential for a shift in mindset, in emotion, in belief, and in behavior.Reflect and journal with Dr. Alexandra to integrate core lessons from the podcast, continuing with today's conversation from the archive. Originally released in September 2022, Dr. Alexandra and Dr. Thema Bryant discuss the importance of resting and of tapping into the things that make you feel truly alive. They also recognize that the ways the system impacts our sense of identity may hinder us from experiencing ease in rest or leisure. They invite us to incorporate these essential self-care acts into our lives little by little.Get out your favorite pen and journal to reflect on these perspectives:Many of your struggles are influenced by systemic issues and are not as personal as you might think. Acknowledging this makes a lot of the negative voices in our heads related to our worth less of a mystery - often, they did not come from us.Rest is a radical act of self-compassion and connection (and not selfish or lazy!), although many people find it very difficult to slow down for a variety of reasons, particularly those from historically excluded identities.While slowing down can feel overwhelming because it brings up avoided emotions, integrating this practice gradually, and slowly noticing the information our emotions provide us can allow us to tap into our truth.Journaling Prompts:How ​do ​the ​macro ​issues ​of ​the ​world ​shape ​your ​sense ​of ​yourself ​in ​this ​moment ​today? ​What ​do ​the ​voices ​in ​your ​head ​tell ​you ​about ​your ​worth?
