Dropping the Masks: Living Authentically in Your Life & Biz

BizPsychologyTherapy
Written By Sarah Byrd

Living authentically is a true art form. Have you ever met people that just exude confidence and radiate wherever they go? What about people that you KNOW are incredible, but they hide in the shadows or put on a mask in the world.

This is the difference between authentic living and inauthentic living. And it can make or break your life and business.

So how do you know if you’re authentically YOU or trying to live up to others’ expectations? And if you don’t feel authentically you, what can you do to shift into alignment with your higher self?

DURING THIS EPISODE, I WALK YOU THROUGH:

  • How trying to live up to societies expectations is really an act of abandoning yourself.

  • What it looks like when you don’t live authentically and the common traps women fall into.

  • The difference between authentic living and inauthentic living, using the example of Empowered Optimism vs Toxic Positivity.

  • What happens when you shift into embrace your authentic self (the good, the bad, and the wonderful).

  • The exact steps to shifting into authentic alignment and create a life you love.

Listen today to learn how to authentically show up and transform everything for your life and business.

When you try to meet others’ expectations, you end up abandoning yourself. Being authentic means coming back home to YOU and creating a life from there.
