In this episode, we're exploring the idea of 'safe self' or 'acceptable self' vs. authentic self, and how we’ll only ever be as authentic as our willingness to be rejected. In other words, our ability to show up authentically in life expands in direct proportion to our willingness to be “rejected” for who we are.
