Today I talk about being authentic as it\u2019s one of the most important things you can follow throughout your lives. But for a lot of us, we find ourselves struggling to attract and connect with the people who we want to connect with. Personally, I discovered later on that it was because I wasn\u2019t showing up fully as myself.\n \xa0\n I didn\u2019t want others to see that I was anything but \u201cfine\u201d because I didn\u2019t want to be a burden. Instead, to receive much-needed validation, I constantly put myself in the role of fixer and peacekeeper. So in order to start showing my true self, I had to get vulnerable and share more of myself to others (something I still have to make an effort to do).\n \xa0\n \u201cIf we don\u2019t risk vulnerability and rejection, we will never actually have authentic connection.\u201d\n \xa0\n It won\u2019t always go well, but when you take the risk, you leave yourself open to attract a tribe of people who will act as a safety net for you when you do face your fears. In my book, A Tribe Called Bliss, Be Authentic is one of 7 sacred agreements to creating relationships (I read an excerpt from the book during this episode).\n \xa0\n Becoming authentic is actually following your joy and what lights you up. When we\u2019re not following that it often has to do with the relationships we\u2019re in. And sometimes we have to weed out the inauthentic relationships that are keeping us tied to the version of ourselves that we think we should show up as.\n \xa0\n \u201cYou can\u2019t be seen if you\u2019re not showing up fully you.\u201d\n \xa0\n It\u2019s time to get vulnerable and take risks and peel back all the layers of the real you. By doing this you\u2019re able to attract your own tribe and attract all the people you\u2019re meant to attract. Put simply:\n \xa0\n \u201cStop trying to fit in and start trying to be more YOU.\u201d\n \xa0\n Imagine the incredibly powerful shift and movement we can all make with we join forces for good that cannot be stopped. I\u2019m so excited to get this shift started on May 8!\n \xa0\n --\n In This Episode We Talk about:\n \xa0\n What it means to be authentic\n Discovering and weeding out inauthenticity in your life\n Attracting who you are meant to attract\n How Lori\u2019s A Tribe Called Bliss book works\xa0\n Resources:\n \xa0\n A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder\n Now available for pre-order at loriharder.com/amazon\n \xa0\n Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/\n \xa0\n Check out my website at loriharder.com.
