Your Weirdness is Welcome Here: How to Catalyze Showing Up As Your True Self w/Jennifer Pastiloff

Be. Play. Love.

Our world is starved of people showing up as their true selves - with our awkwardness, playfulness and realness front and center. The fear of being too much, too loud and too messy drives a lot of people to shrink themselves, and walk around with an injured essence.

A powerful catalyst for realness is being in the presence of people who welcome all aspects of themselves, and live who they are out loud.

This doesn’t just help us undo and unlearn the messaging that diminishes us. By osmosis, it allows who we truly are to surface effortlessly.

How do you invite your weirdest self to the table? What does embracing yourself completely feel like?

In this episode, we’re excited to be joined by our very first guest - author, speaker and coach, Jennifer Pastilof. We have a delicious conversation about discovery, wonder and how to stop hiding ourselves in shame.

Surround yourself with people you want to be like, not people you want to be. -Jennifer Pastiloff
