Authenticity, shame, self-worth- depends what conversation you want to have!
In this podcast episode, Karen interviews Vernessa Roberts-Govern, a licensed marriage and family therapist, author, and professor, about authenticity, shame, self-worth, and their impact on relationships. Vernessa shares her personal journey towards self-discovery and how her experience inspired her to help others overcome feelings of shame and self-doubt to become their authentic selves.
The conversation explores the societal and familial expectations placed on women, the impact of social media on self-comparison, and the influence of family dynamics on our goals and self-perception. The importance of recognizing and challenging these expectations to create a more authentic life that aligns with personal values and desires is emphasized. The speakers also discuss the significance of our inner voice and the harm of self-criticism, urging listeners to become their own cheerleaders and supporters.
Vernessa defines authenticity as being in tune with one's needs and wants and not being defined by societal expectations of success. Authentic living requires self-reflection and empathy towards others. The speakers discuss the importance of being present and going within oneself, despite society's constant distractions.
The podcast concludes with Vernessa explaining the difference between therapy and coaching. While therapy focuses on major issues like anxiety and depression, coaching is solution-oriented and helps people identify and overcome barriers to achieve their goals. Roberts-Govern started authentic life coaching to help clients navigate their journey towardsachieving their authentic goals while addressing shame and self-worth issues.
She also talks about her book, "Authentic," which reveals the layers of authenticity using an acronym, and "The Pursuit Towards Liberation," which discusses societal limits and social justice issues. The guest's podcast, "All Things Authentic," centers around having difficult conversations about personal struggles and societal issues. The podcast's name reflects the guest's passion for authenticity and living an authentic life.
