In the inaugural episode of 'Alive and Loving It', hosts Karen Mellers and Dr. Rosy Daniel explore the significance of authenticity in holistic health. They discuss how being true to oneself is foundational for physical and mental health, and how much better we feel when we can express ourselves and live by our own values rather than people pleasing and bowing to societal expectations. The conversation emphasises the importance of self-discovery, the challenges and vulnerability of navigating change, and the necessity of support in the journey towards authenticity. The episode sets the stage for deeper exploration of the mind-body-spirit connection in future episodes.Key TakeawaysBeing true to ourselves is the absolute baseline for health and wellbeing.Illness can start in the unlived life.We can become a 'watery chameleon', adapting ourselves to ‘shape shift’ to meet others' expectations.Authenticity can lead to renewed health and stronger immunity.Navigating change can leave us feeling vulnerable and exposed.Support is crucial when embarking on a journey of becoming true to ourselvesLove, kindness and encouragement are essential for melting away resistance.Creating a new relationship with oneself must be a gentle process.Being in a supportive community can give us the strength and courage to make healthy changes.Authenticity is attractive and has a ripple effect on others.ReferencesAuthentic Happiness – Martin Seligman True Happiness – Dr Mark Atkinson Joey Walters - Rising Connected Ltd Women's Circles - www.risingconnected.com Chapters00:00 Introduction to Alive and Loving It02:04 The Importance of Being True to Yourself10:57 The Impact of Authenticity on Health16:36 Navigating Change and Vulnerability22:40 The Role of Support in Authentic LivingWatch the YouTube Video hereJoin our Alive and Loving it Community find the loving support that you need to change, grow and healThis is more than a podcast, it’s a movement.
