Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are – Brene Brown

This process can be really tough, especially when it means letting go of habits, careers, relationships, ways of operating – the stuff you once felt really comfortable and safe in.

Sometimes, this process can feel an awful lot like loss or loneliness or walking into darkness. But keep going with it. Release what isn’t authentic and move toward what is.

When we move with and through the pain of releasing, we always – always (I promise!) – come out the other side more vibrant and whole.
