185: Not Being Ourselves Is Burning Us Out - Radical Self-Acceptance As a Form of Rest
Manage episode 509690095 series 1219797
In this episode, I reflect on a quiet act of self-acceptance that unexpectedly led to more energy, more joy, and a clearer connection to myself.
Inspired by skipping a high-profile event I once pressured myself to attend â the Congressional Black Caucus Foundationâs Annual Legislative Conference (aka CBC Week) â this episode is about what happens when you stop trying to be palatable, productive, or âon brand,â and start honoring your inner truth.
Itâs about embracing who you actually are instead of forcing yourself into someone else's definition of enough.
If youâve ever felt out of place doing what youâre âsupposedâ to do...
If youâve ever judged yourself for not wanting what others seem to crave...
If youâve been shape-shifting for belonging...
This episode will meet you where you are and invite you to return home to yourself.
đ In This Episode:Why skipping CBC Week was an act of radical self-acceptance
How the desire to be understood can lead to self-abandonment

Why self-belonging is more powerful than people-pleasing
How to stop translating yourself for audiences who donât speak your language
Why honoring your truth strengthens your intuition
