It’s perfectly okay to be different around different people, and that’s the main point we dive into today. We often hear about the importance of authenticity and being our true selves, but the reality is that we naturally showcase different sides of ourselves depending on the company we’re in. That doesn’t make us fake; it makes us human. I share my experience of how the version of me that records this podcast is just one facet of who I am, and when I’m with friends or family, other parts of me come to life. So, if you’re feeling pressured to be the same person in every situation, let that worry go. You’re allowed to be multifaceted, and we give you permission to show up as the version of yourself that feels right in each moment.
