This video explores the second element of inner richness: authenticity.
Authenticity is about being fully yourself — not the version shaped to please others, but the real, imperfect, honest you. From a young age, many of us build a personality as a kind of protection. We pick up masks shaped by our parents, society, religion, or culture. Over time, those masks help us fit in, but they also disconnect us from our true self. We end up with different versions of ourselves for different situations — and that can feel exhausting.
Living authentically means having the courage to show up as you are — with your limits, your flaws, and your truth. You stop copying others. You let yourself be seen. You make choices that align with your values, like honestly ending a relationship, saying no to work that doesn’t feel right, or quietly honouring what’s true for you without minimising it.
We’ll also talk about common blocks, like people-pleasing, masking, and pushing yourself to do things you don’t actually want to do — which can be deeply draining.
And finally, I share simple ways to build more authenticity in your life:
• Accepting your mistakes
• Being honest when you don’t know something
• Listening to your body when something feels off, what I call 'notes' in the body
• Noticing and celebrating the moments when you are authentic
• Reflecting on how it feels when you are authentic compared to when you pretend
