How do you know if you are being authentic? What does it feel like to show up as your true self in all situations regardless of the risk of being judged or losing a relationship? And have you explored your authenticity through the lens of your internal emotional response rather than how you present to the world?

Amanda & Ginny take the authenticity conversation to a much deeper level, beyond your outward expression of self and into what it means to be true to your heart. They also explore:

• Tools for stepping into your authenticity and maintaining it, such as consciously and consistently checking motives for your behavior.
• How to change your conditioned response to things when feeling misaligned.
• The moment you suddenly realize you don't have to work so hard at being authentic because you finally are authentic.
• Authenticity may feel strange at first because you aren't used to it.
• Changing "the dance moves" in a relationship, and how the other person may try different ways to keep dancing the way they are used to because its familiar to them.
• Why we stay in unhealthy relationships even though they are painful.
• Unlearning old programming to embrace the real you.
• The importance of being mindful of how you truly feel in situations instead of reacting out of muscle memory.
• And so much more!
