Wow, Susan, what an incredible honor to be included in this provocative article on authenticity. I feel seen 🫂

You bring up such a rich perspective here around authenticity that really hits home. "Sometimes, the most authentic moments come not when we're trying to be who we really are but when we finally stop trying to be something at all."--THIS. I have discovered so much peace and ease in allowing myself to stop trying, to just be me in each moment. My inner critic still pops up with her attempt to protect me from being vulnerable, and I'm learning to embrace her and quiet her with gentleness and acceptance. You made a difference in my journey by sharing your experience and perceptions after the live session and for that, I send you a gazillion thanks and a deep bow of love and gratitude. Namaste 🙏🏽🩵🫂🪄

Thank you. I'm just figuring this out. Knew I could in a Note, but not in a post.

Susan, thank you so much for pointing me in the direction of this post! You're so right about just showing up as exactly who you are. Your people naturally gravitate when they're meant to. We have to realize that we're not for everyone but we ARE for someone!

Helpful tip: Next time you're mentioning another Substacker in a post, if you type the @ symbol and then their name (like @Kristi Keller) it will notify us and we won't miss the post 😊
