embracing fearless and courageous authenticity
You say tomatO, I say tomAto. You say courageous authenticity, I say fearless authenticity. In this episode, we dive into the buzzword of the year: authenticity.

But we’re here to cut through the noise and dig into what authenticity really means, especially when it comes to creating a life aligned with your deepest passions and biggest dreams.
We’re not offering a one-size-fits-all answer here; instead, we’re exploring what it takes to get to the root of who you are and how to stand boldly in that truth. Julie and I come at this topic from different perspectives, of course. But as we talk, we realize that underneath it all, we’re both striving for the same thing: finding the courage and living with the fear to live fully as ourselves.
