#225: Becoming the Real You: Unsubscribing From Toxic Cultural Conditioning

This episode has themes of: Authenticity, Belief systems, intuitive awareness, self awareness, nervous system regulation, discernment, alignment & purpose, leadership, belonging and empowerment.

Most people want two things: to belong, and to be authentic.

But the moment belonging feels threatened, authenticity is the first thing we abandon.

Because to the human brain, belonging is safety.

We’ll shapeshift, silence, and shrink ourselves, not because we’re weak, but because our biology is still wired to believe that being cast out equals danger.

The work isn’t to stop wanting belonging. It’s to learn how to belong without betraying yourself.
