This is the core belief that shapes my work. When disconnected from ourselves we're likely to feel empty, numb, lost, easily triggered, self-doubting... We pretend to be someone we're not (not necessarily intentionally) in attempt to be loved, to belong, to be supported... This way of living may feel good at first, but it's not good for us, because guaranteed - it doesn't last. 

​

Think about it. From this inauthentic, performative place, how can we possibly have meaningful relationships that bring us joy and connection? Those relationship are built from being someone we're not. Chances are, we cannot wear a mask forever (how exhausting). And if people have fallen in love with a mask, those relationships are bound to crumble at some point...

​

It's hard to digest, I know. It's understandable that we don't want to step into the truth(s) of who we are because it's f*cking confronting, uncertain, risky and we don't even know what that is! No wonder we compare, copy or follow other people's paths, not walk our own. We need to hold compassion for ourselves when embarking on this process. This is the very journey I help people with.
