Your Weirdness is Welcome Here: How to Catalyze Showing Up As Your True Self w/Jennifer Pastiloff

Our world is starved of people showing up as their true selves - with our awkwardness, playfulness and realness front and center. The fear of being too much, too loud and too messy drives a lot of people to shrink themselves, and walk around with an injured essence.   A powerful catalyst for realness is being in the presence of people who welcome all aspects of themselves, and live who they are out loud.   This doesn't just help us undo and unlearn the messaging that diminishes us. By osmosis, it allows who we truly are to surface effortlessly.   How do you invite your weirdest self to the table? What does embracing yourself completely feel like?   In this episode, we're excited to be joined by our very first guest - author, speaker and coach, Jennifer Pastilof. We have a delicious conversation about discovery, wonder and how to stop hiding ourselves in shame.   Surround yourself with people you want to be like, not people you want to be. -Jennifer Pastiloff   Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode    -You've got everyone, but remember to also have you When we set the intention to serve others, how do we make sure we're not leaving ourselves behind?   -Allowing vs. being allowed  What's the difference between being allowed by others, and allowing ourselves?    -How to find your place of authenticity Who we spend time with allows us to be our true selves, how do we find those people who pull out what makes us special?    Guest Bio  Jennifer Pastiloff travels the world with her unique workshop "On Being Human," a hybrid of yoga related movement, writing, sharing out loud, letting the snot fly, and the occasional dance party.
