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.

Welcome back to another episode, and happy Thanksgiving week! This time, we’re diving into the connection between gratitude and meaningful relationships. Gratitude isn’t just about saying "thank you" or big grand gestures—it’s a mindset that can transform how we think and live.

Gratitude has some powerful benefits, both for your health and your relationships. Studies show it can lower cortisol levels, reduce blood pressure, and even boost your immune system. Beyond the physical, gratitude increases self-esteem and strengthens relationships by fostering mutual appreciation. When we intentionally look for things to be grateful for, we start seeing more—and that can change everything.

The beautiful thing about gratitude is its ripple effect. As we grow in gratitude, it naturally deepens our ability to connect with others.

This Thanksgiving week, take time to fine-tune your gratitude practice. Whether it’s keeping a journal, catching moments of appreciation for others, or simply pausing to reflect, gratitude can flow into every area of your life, enriching your health and building deeper, more meaningful connections.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Welcome back to another episode with Leah where she continues with the topic of authenticity! This time she focuses on the blessings of living authentically.

As she discussed in the last episode, the two musicals her kids were in this fall have great examples of authenticity. She explains how living authentically is living in congruence between our inner lives and our outer experiences then goes on to give some examples from both Les Miserables and Cinderella.

Even though these are just fictional stories, we can see the benefits of living in alignment with our values. Leah explains what happens as a result of living authentically in our own lives and its importance for genuine connection and growing into who we really are so that we can walk into boldness and confidence.

Leah also shares some examples from a client and how living authentically has helped them work towards their goals and live more in tune with who they are. If you’re interested in working towards authenticity in your own life, you can contact Leah to have a conversation about it, or you can work through her Burnout Buster Blueprint. Both options are available through her website at leahlittlebrown.com.

In the next episode, Leah will continue with this topic of authenticity and talk about the challenges of living authentically. Be sure to tune in next time!
