## Resource

Eryn and L' Shawn discuss prompt number seven from their guided journal's "Inspire" section, which explores how to lean into authenticity amidst fear. They examine the concept through a dinner party metaphor, where authenticity, fear, and growth are represented as different beings at the table. The conversation includes creative visualizations of these concepts as animals (squirrel for fear, swan for authenticity, elephant for growth) and explores how fear often dominates the conversation. They discuss the prompt's connection to family constellations and suggest journaling exercises including dialogues between these concepts and considering how they might move in an interpretive dance.
