Ep 154: Are You Living Authentically? 10 Ways To Know

In this episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction: Thriving After Chaos, we’re diving deep into one of the most important aspects of healing and self-discovery—authenticity. Many of us grew up in environments where we had to suppress our true selves to survive. But as adults, we have the power to reclaim our authenticity and live in alignment with who we truly are.

So, how do you know if you're living authentically? I’m sharing 10 powerful questions that will help you reflect on your choices, relationships, and overall well-being. Grab a journal, take a deep breath, and let's explore:

1️⃣ Am I making decisions based on my true desires, or am I trying to meet others' expectations?

2️⃣ Do I feel a sense of peace and fulfillment with the way I live my life?

3️⃣ When was the last time I felt truly alive? What was I doing?

4️⃣ Do I say “yes” to things I don’t want to do just to avoid disappointing others?

5️⃣ Am I surrounded by people who accept and support the real me?

6️⃣ Do I set and uphold boundaries that protect my energy and well-being?

7️⃣ If I had no fear of judgment or failure, what would I do differently?

8️⃣ Do I feel more energized or drained by my daily life and commitments?

9️⃣ Do I trust and follow my intuition, even when it goes against logic or outside opinions?

🔟 If I keep living the way I am now, will I feel proud and fulfilled 10 years from today?

If you find yourself answering "no" to many of these, it’s okay! Awareness is the first step. In this episode, I’ll also share practical ways to shift toward a more aligned, fulfilling, and authentic life—one where you no longer feel the need to shrink, please, or conform.

Let’s break free from the past and step fully into who we were always meant to be. 💙

👉 Listen now and journal your reflections!

Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in! If this episode spoke to your heart, just know there’s even more support waiting for you.

I work with people who are ready to heal from the inside out — especially those dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, inflammation, gut issues, or burnout. If you’ve been struggling with symptoms your doctors can’t fully explain, it may be that your past is still living in your body. Unhealed emotional wounds and nervous system dysregulation often show up as physical and mental health challenges — and I’m here to help you break that cycle.

As an international inspirational speaker, NLP Practitioner, Trauma-Informed ACOA Coach, Neurofit Trainer, and Best-Selling Author, I bring both deep personal experience and professional training to the work I do. I believe in prevention, not just intervention — and use a body, mind, and spirit approach to guide others toward becoming the happiest, healthiest versions of themselves.

My holistic toolbox includes nervous system regulation, trauma-informed coaching, nutritional support, and natural healing strategies — including access to a powerful biofrequency scanner that gives us real-time insight into your wellness reality so we can create a personalized roadmap for healing.

Most of all, I’m your friend on this journey — cheering you on and reminding you that you absolutely can live your best life EVER. 💛
