#71 - Embracing Who You Are: The True Strength of Authenticity
Tue Jul 29 2025
In this week’s episode, I dive into the concept of authenticity and what it means to truly know and show yourself to the world. Inspired by a conversation with a friend at the run club, I reflect on the masks we wear and the personas we create to fit in or meet external expectations.
I share my own journey of shedding those masks, including the person I used to pretend to be, and why understanding yourself first is crucial before trying to understand others.
