Authenticity

I was having a conversation with a friend the other day and we were talking about our values and what we deeply desired for our lives. I have to say that one of my core values has always been, and will always be 𝗔𝗨𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗧𝗬!

I read somewhere the other day someone saying that it was inappropriate to swear in our posts. Someone who said swearing came from unhealed traumas, our deepest wounds or something along those lines, and I have to respectfully disagree with that. {We’re all entitled to our opinion, but this is mine}

I swear in every day, life! It’s just the way I express myself. And in all honesty, they’re just words, words that were labeled by somebody who gave them a specific meaning. Yet that same word does not have the same connotation in another country or for another person with different beliefs. The idea that swearing is bad is just another way we were programmed to believe what we were told by society. You see, some people are offended when someone says “fuck”…where I grew up in Quebec, people say “fuck” like they say “shoot” and it has the same meaning.

If I need to start expressing myself differently in my posts to please people, that’s out of integrity, and the farthest thing from being authentic, FOR ME! Some people may disagree, some may even be offended and with all due respect, that’s not my side of the street to clean up. I’m not here to make everybody like me, perhaps, at one point in time a different version of me would be cringing at me right now for me writing this. Her fear of not being liked by everyone, her fear of being judged, her fear of getting heat, fear of just fucking being seen for who she is! This version of me, not so much!

This new, improved and expanded version of me.. she’s here to show up exactly as she is. She’s not faking shit. I’m not everybody’s cup of tea, and I’m perfectly fine with that. There are so many mentors out there and if you are looking for one who is prim and proper all of the time… then I’m probably not the one for you. My hope is that everybody finds a person who can support them, and that is in alignment with their values.

So…if I swear in my posts, it’s because I swear in real life. If I talk about practices that help amplify health and wellness, you better bet that I am doing exactly that. I’m here to walk my talk.

I truly believe that we can all respectfully disagree on different topics as adults and still get along. We are all different, yet we all do want one thing: to live a life that feels like magic!

So cheers to all of you! The ones that agree and the ones that don’t! Cheers to every single being out there showing up day after day, just doing their best and showing up authentically for themselves and those around them!

My wish for you is to be able to show up for life in integrity with who you truly are...

Looking for support? I have a few different ways you can work with me and I'd love to chat!
