#26: How to be Authentically YOURSELF

Gloria Zhang, MA
About this episode

Are you struggling to be your TRUE and AUTHENTIC SELF around people and in relationships? When you find it hard to show your real emotions or personality and you get used to people-pleasing, then maybe it's time to re-evaluate your core wounds and get back in touch with the REAL YOU.

*Why Do Some Women Easily Attract Extraordinary Relationships... And Others Struggle?*
Register for my FREE workshop The Lovable Woman, and learn my 3-step process of how to create healthy, high-quality relationships:
āž”ļø bygloriazhang.com/workshop

Episode Highlights:

  • My experience in feeling like an "observer", struggling to be my authentic self when I was a child because of trauma and not feeling safe to express myself at home
  • Thoughts on my Asian-Canadian story
  • My thoughts on spirituality being connected to inner child healing, which is important in reconnecting with your true self
  • Figuring out what identities you're trying to play and re-assessing if it's driven by your inner self or just influenced by trying to please people
  • Ask yourself: Am I doing this thing because I want to or is it more for other people's approval?

Hey bestie! My mission is to help High-Achievers and people-pleasers heal their Inner Child and find healthy love, especially those who desire an extraordinary connection but often struggle in their relationships.Ā
