## Resource

What if the life you actually want requires you to stop trying to be liked? In this episode, Lacy and Jessica break down what we're all getting wrong about authenticity, and why it's one of the most important parts of manifesting a life you love. They talk about the difference between living as your real self vs. performing "realness" to get validation and approval, and how the interests you had before you learned to fit in hold clues to who you really are. They also get candid about the hard parts of being seen: triggering people, being misunderstood, feeling lonely in between who you were and who you're becoming, and letting go of the need to prove you're good enough. This is your sign to reflect and refine. Stop looking outside yourself for your identity. Disconnect from the noise and become the author of your own story. The things you actually want in life aren't found by copying someone else's path—they show up when you have the courage to follow your own.
