Checking-in with authenticity

Today (well tech yesterday as it's now the early am:). I stood up for myself, my authentic self, the one that I often stuff down to appease others or obtain favor. It felt so good! I'd been racking my brain for weeks about how to approach this situation and ultimately although the deal wasn't established, I feel soooo spectacular and authentic--I was vulnerable, I shared my true thoughts and feelings and they showed their ass--It was great:) Lessons learned: speak your truth whether others listen/acknowledge (it) or not. I know what I want, I'm often just too full of fear and overwhelmed by the possible negative outcomes to say it--I want to start saying it:). And this makes me feel excited, shy, and giddy...I love it. #Growth
