Episode Notes
Authenticity is often oversimplified as "just be yourself" and everything will fall into place. But it's not that easy in reality. Sasha Pantzialas and Tanuja Ramchal explore why we struggle to be authentic.
Here's what's covered:
What it means to be authentic and the importance of creating stability within yourself
How capitalism and other systems keep you in a deficit mindset (not feeling "good enough")
The role higher education plays in influencing whether or not you show up authentically in your career
Why the identities you adopt can cause you to be in performance mode and create a false sense of community
How pain can be an impetus for challenging dehumanizing standards that get in the way of showing up authentically
