Learning to live truthfully and authentically can feel scary. It can involve breaking down stories you’ve gotten from others and stories you’ve told yourself. It involves breaking away from things you thought were safe that no longer serve you. involve a grief process, as you let go of things that no longer serve you and welcome what works for you. You’re saying goodbye to what holds you back and saying hello to what is possible. It sounds easy and it’s much harder than it sounds. Acknowledging that there is grief on the path to truth and authenticity can help you move forward. Give yourself the compassion you need as you begin to live a life that honors who you truly are.

I’m still learning to let go of my people pleasing parts and live more in a way that is authentically me. It’s a process. I’ve had to grieve past relationships, say goodbye to habits I thought were serving me but were holding me back, and unburden parts of me who wanted to lovingly protect me from what they perceived as harm. It will continue to be a process because that’s what life is. And I’m grateful that I’m learning to live in a way that honors who I truly am, even though it can be hard at times.
