In this mini-episode, we explore the journey of honoring every part of yourself — the essential pieces that make you whole and complete. A lot of our life is spent hiding parts of ourselves and pretending to be someone we’re not, just to fit in and belong, and in the process, we lose sight of who we truly are. But here's the truth: every part of you was created on purpose, for a purpose. Authenticity is about remembering who you are, reconnecting with that innate sense of self, accepting each beautiful part of you, and finding the courage to live fully as your true self. In this solo episode, I share simple, actionable steps to help you identify the parts of yourself that make you unique, whole, and truly authentic.

In this this conversation, Aralyn, a high school senior from Aztec, New Mexico, and I dive into her journey of stepping into authentic leadership. From breaking away from stereotypes and learning that the desire to lead qualifies you to lead, to overcoming judgment and taking up space, Aralyn shares powerful insights on transforming from a side character to the main character of your own life. Together, we discuss the growth that comes from student council, the courage to belong as yourself, and the excitement (and nerves!) of preparing to leave home for college. Tune in for a heart-to-heart on finding friendship within yourself, embracing confidence, and igniting your inner leader.
**Aralyn's guardian gave her permission to have this recorded conversation with me.
