Are you afraid that if people saw the real you, they’d walk away?

If you’ve ever felt like you had to wear a mask just to be accepted, this episode is for you. I spent over 50 years shape-shifting into who I thought others needed me to be—just to avoid rejection. But all that time, I was quietly rejecting myself.

In this episode, I share the two powerful shifts that helped me finally drop the mask, stop people-pleasing, and start living as the real me—without apology. We’ll talk about:

  • the high cost of fake acceptance,
  • how to reframe rejection, and
  • what it really takes to build self-trust and authentic connection.

Watch the YouTube video: How I let go of the fear of rejection to finally be happy!
