Today, we delve into the profound concept of authenticity!
Being authentic means truly knowing ourselves, trusting our inner voice, and being truthful. It's about embracing curiosity, questioning our thoughts, and distinguishing our ego from our deeper truth. By exploring our desires, failures, and wounds, we can listen to our higher selves and cultivate a lifelong journey of self-discovery. Authenticity requires vulnerability, but it also leads to deeper connections with others and a more fulfilling life.
Join me on this transformative journey of self-reflection and learn to embrace your authentic self.

Welcome back to The Art of Purpose Podcast. I'm Gayla, your host, and today we're picking up where we left off in our last "Purposeful Pause" episode.
In my journey towards living intentionally and embracing the messiness of life, I took a big step in 2005 when I decided to pursue a career as an artist and entrepreneur. It wasn't always easy, and I had to navigate roadblocks and self-doubt along the way.
Tune in to hear more about my journey and all that we’re going to explore as I continue to bring you more episodes!
