In this episode I’m calling time on a sneaky little trap that keeps many of we introverts small: The Authenticity Trap. Yes, I said it.

You see, while being true to yourself is vital, too often authenticity gets misused as an excuse to dodge discomfort or avoid change. And that, dear listener, is not flourishing. It is hiding in plain sight. Let's unpack what authenticity truly means (thank you, psychology), how to spot when you’re using it as a shield, and what to do instead.

Expect a little sass, a lot of love, and a gentle-but-firm nudge out of the comfort zone. Because growth might be awkward at first, but it’s also glorious.

** Key Points **

• Authenticity ≠ Excuse
• Growth feels awkward, then natural
• Know your values
