Authentic Self!

---

I’ve spent years working on this version of myself and I am extremely proud of the woman I am now. My work is not done and every day I continue to strive to be the best version of myself. In my 20’s, I worried about what friends, family, or partner thought of me. In many ways, there was always a part of me that I felt I could not share with those in my life out of fear of being rejected or judged.  I’ve spent my 30’s working on myself physically, mentally, emotionally. Now, I’m proud to say I am living my most authentic life.

Arriving to this place, meant doing a lot of work and letting go of the fear of losing people in my life. In fact, I had to leave behind many so called “friends,” Sayonara bitches!!! I came to the realization that those that matter and who truly love me will always be in my life. Society is harsh enough on women (and men). I chose to be kind and loving to myself. I chose to live my best life because, after all, we only have one life to live.

Many times, we are confined by the roles we play in life and by the expectations and perceptions of others. We don’t want to disappoint those we love or who love us. So, we sacrifice ourselves to spare the feelings of others. The truth is, we are never going to make everyone happy. We can’t live our lives living up to other people’s expectations. We are not just our gender or the role we play in life whether that be the role of a parent, friend, daughter, lover, sister, student, professional, etc. We are much more than just our age (I say this as I approach the next decade of my life ha ha). We can wear many hats in life; we can be great parents, amazing lovers, a party go-er, a soccer mom/dad, PTA parent, vanilla or not, sexy, sensual, conservative, liberal, fitness enthusiast, business owner, executives. We can be all those things and more without having to subscribe to only one thing. We don’t have to live in a box!  The only thing that matters is that we do good in this world, we do our part to leave this world a better place, and that we don’t hurt others along the way.

Living my authentic life worry free of what others think is what I choose to do. That’s what I encourage my kids to do, that’s what lead me to finding the love of my life, that’s what brings me happiness, and that’s what I encourage my clients to do in my coaching practice. Again, it takes work but it’s so worth it!
