You’re Not Being Yourself… You’re Just Managing Perception

Let’s be real… some of us are not being ourselves. We’re managing perception.In this episode of the Words of Encouragement Podcast, Frankie Lubin, aka Mr. Made Different, and co-host Alexis Gillespie talk about identity, people-pleasing, code switching, authenticity, and the pressure to become a different version of yourself in every room.Do you act one way at work, another way with friends, another way at church, another way with family, and another way at home? At some point, that gets tiring. You start losing track of who you really are.This conversation is for the approval seekers, overthinkers, performers, and people-pleasers who are tired of living for validation. You don’t need more approval. You need identity.In this episode, we talk about:Why managing perception is so exhaustingThe difference between adapting and pretendingHow code switching can become people-pleasingWhy you don’t have anything to proveHow to know if you’re showing up authenticallyWhy consistency matters in your identityHow to stop shrinking yourself in certain roomsYou were made different to make a difference. Stop performing. Start becoming.Frankie IG: @iamfrankielubinAlexis IG: @ruach.pnuemaJoin the prayer group: https://prayergroup.lovable.app/Drip Juice Bar: https://dripjuicebar.square.site/#WordsOfEncouragementPodcast #MadeDifferent #Identity #PeoplePleasing #ApprovalAddiction #Authenticity #ChristianPodcast #FaithAndIdentity #StopPerforming #CodeSwitching
