It took me years to finally be authentic because I was bogged down by self-doubt, by trying to please other people…by trying to just get by, and to move on as if nothing affected me. I told myself “I’ll make it through” and “I can do this!” but I kept making the same mistakes over and over again.

I realized this only by doing the inner work necessary. I started digging into what my life stories were. That’s what truly created my ability to change my life story – to become more authentic and free to be who I really am.
