The Authenticity Journey

As I see it, this is a journey that all humans will go on. Some will go through it unknowingly, others unwillingly - but all of us will go through it. My current work is to bring this journey to the front the human consciousness and empower people to genuinely engage with what it feels like to be their authentic self.

My exploration of this journey comes from a place of wanting to understand why some of us will face hard things [eg. burnout, trauma, loss] and crumble, but others will experience what experience hard things and flourish - with a new lease on life and a renewed purpose. This was my journey. Well, at least the short version.

I started exploring the concept of authenticity close to 10 years ago in pursuit of the idea that there had to be something more than [this]. It felt as if I got to a place of what past me would have defined as success and still didn’t feel [it]. I didn’t know what it was, exactly. But, it wasn’t this.

I began reading, listening, investigating, writing and learning about concepts that spoke to me in this period of my life. I am still doing that now. But, without the pressure of being burnt out or the trauma of relationship breakdowns. When I put it all together, it seems that authenticity or the journey of it, is a pursuit that we don’t often talk about - yet this for me was the only thing that provided meaning back to life once it felt like everything fell apart.

So, in putting it all together I know, from 10 years of learning, listening, waiting to feel like now is the right time to do [it] - I consider the following to be some of the most important concepts for the authenticity journey:

Trust.

Purpose.

Values.

Boundaries.

Reflection.

Self-love.

Confidence.

Moments.

Celebrations.

Alignment.

Vulnerability.

I am creating content that draws on these concepts and other theories including stoicism, logotherapy, routine-ology.

And drawing from the teachings of Brene Brown, Tony Robbins, Erika Cramer and more.

I am so excited for this journey and I can not wait to share it with you.
