S1 EP30 The Price of Authenticity, and How To be More Authentic

We all say we want to “be authentic,” but do we even know what that means? In this episode of The Adults’ Table, I dig into the real meaning of authenticity – beyond the Instagram quotes and overused buzzwords. We’ll talk about why showing up as your true self is so difficult, how personas and validation shape who we think we are, and why belonging often clashes with authenticity. You’ll hear about the shadow side of your personality, the friction you’ll face from family and friends, and why being authentic can sometimes feel selfish (but isn’t). If you’ve ever felt torn between being accepted and being yourself, this conversation is for you.Socialshttps://www.instagram.com/theadultstableshow/https://www.tiktok.com/@theadultstableshowMerchhttps://theadultstableshow.printful.me/Newsletterhttps://thefernandarodrigues.substack.com/
