Yikes! My stomach is in knots. I'm wanting to take a nap. Or, find myself distracted from the task at hand. (it's at these times that I tend to clean or do laundry, or sort the junk drawer...)
In a matter of a few hours, I get to have an important phone call that could result in speaking at a conference AND a video shoot of a speech in front of a live audience, to promote a women's conference.
Am I prepared? How much is too much prep? Not counting creating this podcast.
I KNOW this stuff. This is my purpose to share my message on Authenticity and it's importance in leading for change. We can't create change without changing ourselves...see there I go. I am ready to teach this.
Or, should I change the story? The punch line? The exercise I'm going to faciltate to create an experiential learning?
Back and forth. Heeding my Inner Wise Woman. Listening to my Inner Child's fears. My mind's critical commentary and my heart's excitement and expansion. It's a lot! Who wins?
Over and over, I hear professional women share that they feel they need to: Wear a mask, hide, pretend to feel confident, play a role to fulfill other's expections, have to be 2 or 3 different people depending on what they are doing and who they are with. Isn't that exhausting? Where do we get to BE ourselves?
Who knocks you off center (and out of your Authenticity)? Is it more at work? At home? With family and friends? Is it a big opportunity? And how do you handle the stress of these situations? Do you have any practices or prayers that center you?
Let's dive in, Sisters. This is work we all need to do.
