In a world where authenticity has become a buzzword, often losing its true meaning, Walt and Joel's conversation delves deep into the complexities of finding and embracing one's authentic self. As they navigate the ever-evolving landscape of personal growth, their dialogue sheds light on the transformative power of self-awareness and the courage to confront our own shadows.

Walt, expressing his concern about the overuse of the term "authenticity," sets the stage for a thought-provoking exploration. Joel, a life coach, and LOA teacher, shares his perspective, emphasizing that authenticity is not a static state but an ever-evolving journey. "I'm a far different person than I was 30 years ago, and the version of me today, people say, 'Well, you're authentically you.' And I go, 'Yeah, but I was authentically me then. It was just a chaotic authenticity.'"

This notion of authenticity as a fluid concept, shaped by our life experiences, resonates deeply. Joel's personal examples, from his journey of overcoming addiction to his evolving role as a protector of children, illustrate the profound impact that self-discovery can have on our sense of authenticity.

As the conversation unfolds, Walt and Joel grapple with the challenge of defining inauthenticity, acknowledging that it is often rooted in our survival mechanisms and coping strategies. "When you're making decisions based on survival, it's very seldom any version of authenticity you could imagine. It's just, 'I just got to make a decision to get to the day' concept," Joel shares.

The discussion delves into the role of emotions and self-talk in shaping our perception of authenticity. Joel emphasizes the importance of managing emotions and maintaining a positive outlook, stating, "If your pursuit of authenticity is affecting you emotionally and bringing you to a place, see, that's where it could be beneficial." This insight underscores the need to approach the journey of self-discovery with compassion and self-acceptance.

Walt and Joel's conversation also highlights the impact of external factors, such as family dynamics and societal expectations, on our sense of authenticity. They emphasize the importance of creating a supportive environment for personal growth and the courage to redefine oneself based on personal values rather than external pressures.

Ultimately, the key takeaway from this dialogue is the power of self-awareness and the transformative potential of embracing one's authentic self. As Joel shares his journey of reprogramming his subconscious mind and cultivating a positive self-image, Walt is reminded of the profound impact that positive self-talk and self-acceptance can have on our lives.

In the end, the conversation leaves us with a deeper understanding that authenticity is not a destination, but a lifelong journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and the courage to be true to ourselves, no matter the challenges we face.
