Welcome back to another episode with Leah! This week, she’s continuing with authenticity and is joined by her daughter Nyarai as they take a roadtrip!
As they drive, they’ve been discussing how authenticity has become an important aspect for the younger generation and how it’s spread up into the older generations. They also dig into the trend of being overly authentic that the younger generation has adopted and talk about the rawness and lack of filter among the younger people in the name of authenticity. Leah poses the question if the rawness and over sharing is actually authenticity.
After giving the definition of true authenticity, the two discuss what authenticity really is and that there’s a difference between true authenticity and rawness. With true authenticity, it’s necessary to know your core values so the two discuss them and how to figure out what your core values are. In the PDF linked, there’s helpful information on identifying and implementing core values.
Depending on what’s happening in your life or who you’re with, there are times and situations for highlighting your values. Leah and Nyarai expand on that and discuss how it’s not being a different person; it’s just highlighting certain parts of yourself. They then discuss how we operate differently when we are authentic and aligned with our core values.
Nyarai shares how you really have to do the work to choose and align with your core values. Along with that, Leah explains that when we identify them and are aligned with our core values, it can reduce our stress and tension. She also gives some more information on identifying your core values and how the PDF that’s linked can help with that.
Nyarai then asks Leah what her advice is for recognizing and changing over-authenticity within oneself and she shares some tips on how to address it and identify your core values so you can work to align with them.
