Art of Authenticity: How to Be You

People ask all the time what kind of people come to my events or are attracted to what I offer. They want me to say 'single young men 18 - 35 who are socially awkward' or 'recently divorced women 35 to 50'. Those people do find me, but I can't simplify my audience in those terms. People come to me when they are SEARCHING for something. They want to find a safe space to let go, relax, and find acceptance without judgement. Just like you, they want some new ideas for creating healthy, wanted CONNECTIONS and living a fulfilled and happy life. I want you to be your best and highest self. We all need connection. For optimum health and wellness, we as human beings need to nourish our body, mind and spirit with healthy food, good sleep and by sharing quality time connection and touch with others in community. In order to set up and share healthy, wanted connections, we have to have confidence in ourselves and allow ourselves to be seen. This is the practice of authenticity. The problem I want to solve with this book is to help you find confidence and pride and joy in you. If you go through this work, you will have confidence presenting your true self to the people in your life. You will consciously know, or decide, or discover, who you are and you will be able to release shame about yourself. You will find confidence and power within yourself and you will be able to find people and connections that truly nourish you.
