How to Speak Up Authentically with Jess O’Connell

Overcoming Inauthenticity

As women, we often find it difficult to be our authentic selves in front of other people. There are so many different factors as to why we find ourselves doing this. First, speaking up for ourselves is one of the things that generations of women have struggled with. We are still in the process of changing the culture of expecting women to just, “sit down and be quiet”. Second, we often lose a part of ourselves once we enter motherhood. We become so focused on raising our children that we often forget to figure ourselves out. Third, and most importantly, we innately want to be loved and accepted. And speaking up authentically means possibly risking being judged. We are afraid to say something different from other people because we so deeply want to be accepted.

It’s difficult, I know, because it’s scary not to ‘belong’, right? But it’s draining your energy and happiness more than anything else! We tend to jump into whatever it is we think that will make us accepted, even if it is not in alignment with who we are. (Check out how you can love yourself and your image.)
