In this episode I speak on authenticity and the importance of individuality. We interact with so many people and experience so much in life. It's easy to lose ourselves in our jobs, relationships, and even our children.

How many of us are REALLY showing up as our true selves all the time? 
What’s the hardest part about being authentic or expressing your individuality for you?
When has being authentic posed a conflict for you?

One of the questions I get asked most during readings or coaching sessions is "Why do I get treated like this?" My answer will remain the same every time...it starts with you! Join me for a brief discussion on energy exchange.  

Take aways from this episode:

1.  You are in complete control of who and what you interact with.
2.  Your relationship with self sets the tone for all other connections. Do right by you, and others will too. If they don’t, they’re not your people.
3.  Do not engage in unequal energy exchanges in order to satisfy your traumas
4.  Revisit and reexamine your “round table” often
