It’s been a while since I sent out my newsletter and I’M BACK! I’ve been busy producing a leadership course with Madecraft which is now in post-production.
I’m excited about it and can’t wait to share the finished product with you soon.
One of the first things I talked about in the course is the importance of authenticity. More than ever, the world needs you to be YOU.
It’s easy to prioritize how others perceive us and how we think we need to be over-showing up as our true selves. Because deep down, fears we’ll be judged, not liked, accepted, or even worse, someone may feel sorry for us, rear their ugly head. Especially when we’re wearing our heart on our sleeve.
I get it. It can be scary to put yourself out there and be seen for who you are, warts and all.
I’ve shared a ton about my personal trials and tribulations through the years. I chuckle when people still ask me how I can be so comfortable sharing my deep and darkest moments.
Here’s what I say:
“The things I’ve shared were hard and sometimes felt excruciating at the time. But I worked through them and grew tremendously as a result. Hopefully, by sharing, you’ll feel empowered to show up more authentically.”
We all have fears. Believe me, I have plenty of them. Just don’t let them stop you from expressing your truest and most brilliant version of yourself.
