Stop lugging around a rehearsed personality 🥸

Let's Keep Talking with Braxton Gilbert

Struggling with the facade of emotional performance, I found myself yearning to break free from the shackles of others' expectations. It's a journey I share openly in this episode, as Heidi Priebe's guidance on emotional intelligence illuminates a path to living unrehearsed and embracing the full spectrum of our emotions. We delve into the exhaustion that comes from constantly adapting and the transformative power of authenticity in shaping a more genuine and fulfilling existence. Join me as we confront the battle against shame and explore the courage it takes to show up as ourselves, unfiltered and real, through the good days and the bad.
The agony of disconnection is a silent epidemic in our hyper-connected world, and it's one we address on this show with insights from Dr. Chris Donoghue and Thomas Moore. Together, we examine the importance of honoring our eccentricities and the soul's unique essence, critiquing the role capitalism and social media play in our pursuit of authenticity. As we move through the conversation, I invite you to consider how authentic connections—those that align our external expressions with our inner feelings—can reignite the joy of being known and liked for who we truly are. Listen in for a heartfelt exploration of how to forge deeper connections by being true to ourselves and others.
