Ep.35 | Realigning with Your Most Authentic Self: Uncovering Your Inner Voice
In this empowering and thought-provoking episode, we explore the journey back to authenticity. Kristen examines how we lose touch with our true selves, starting from the moments we first adjusted our behaviors to gain acceptance. Through practical tools and strategies, she guides you in uncovering areas of misalignment, embracing your authentic soul, and overcoming the fear of rejection when showing up as your truest self.
This episode highlights the importance of living with abundance, gratitude, and confidence, free from societal expectations. Kristen also explores the role of AI in creativity, its potential to cause self-doubt, questioning whether our ideas and creations are good enough, and how constant exposure to programming from social media and online messaging can cloud our own thoughts and steer us away from our most authentic voice.
A powerful conversation designed to help you reconnect with yourself, identify where inauthenticity may show up in your life, and empower you to fully embrace the freedom and fulfillment of living in true alignment.
