You don’t need to become someone else. You just need to stop editing who you already are.

In this episode of Go, Get a Life, we’re having a real conversation about authenticity—what it is, what it’s not, and why showing up as your unfiltered self is your greatest gift. In a world that rewards fitting in, being yourself can feel risky. But authenticity is where your true power begins.

We’ll unpack how people-pleasing and perfectionism are sneaky habits that keep us stuck performing for approval. And I’ll share my personal journey of peeling back the layers of roles, expectations, and false identities to come back home to the version of me that’s been there all along.

Here’s what I cover in this episode:

• What authenticity really means (and why it’s not about oversharing or performing your “realness”)
  
  
  
• How people-pleasing and perfectionism are blockers that keep you shrinking and editing yourself
  
  
  
• Why we shape-shift into “easy,” agreeable versions of ourselves to feel safe
  
  
  
• The difference between fitting in and truly belonging
  
  
  
• My personal story of losing my identity in roles and how I found freedom in showing up unfiltered
  
  
  
• Why your quirks, flaws, and full “goober” self are not liabilities—they’re your superpowers
  
  
  
• How authenticity builds trust, sparks courage, and invites others to rise
  
  
  
• Practical steps to stop editing yourself and show up more fully (without needing a complete overhaul)
  
  
  

This episode is for you if:

• You’ve been shrinking yourself to avoid conflict or keep the peace
  
  
  
• You feel like you’re constantly performing for approval
  
  
  
• You’re ready to stop blending in and start showing up as the whole, honest version of you
  
  
  
• You’re craving deeper connections and a life that feels aligned, not performed
  
  
  

You don’t need a five-step reinvention plan. You just need to take one small, honest step towards being more of who you already are.
