Summary
Hello, dear listener! Welcome back to the 30-day authenticity challenge.
On this podcast, I often talk about the importance of being authentic. Of being yourself in every situation, with every person.
So, during the course of these 30 days, we'll do the inner (and outer) work of becoming more authentic and expressing our true selves - without feeling like we need to hide who we are.
Episodes will go out daily until we complete the challenge.
Your task for today, DAY 13, is to reflect on this prompt: what kinds of changes do you need to make to begin living as your authentic self? Please also examine how this quote applies to your life: "Change is often more frightening than pain." (from The Great Pain Deception by Steve Ozanich.)

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to Inner Work. I'm your host, Josephine Hartman. This is day 13 of my 30-day |
| 0:11.5 | authenticity challenge. I'm so glad you are back here to continue this work together. |
| 0:18.0 | To support the creation of this podcast and make sure it stays on the air, you can |
| 0:24.3 | check out my resources for self-healing through the link in the episode description. These resources |
| 0:30.6 | are really comprehensive guided healing journeys, and they are designed to help you do the deep inner work, the healing |
| 0:39.6 | work that you are being called to do with my companionship and guidance along the way. |
| 0:46.9 | And of course, if you want to check these out, these resources will also help you do the work |
| 0:51.7 | of becoming fully aligned with your authentic self. |
| 0:57.3 | So yesterday, for day 12, I asked you to think about someone you admire, someone who you believe |
| 1:03.9 | has lived their life in an authentic way, whether this is someone from your personal life or a well-known figure, someone famous, |
| 1:14.3 | and to make a list of the qualities that you most admire in them. This is a great list to keep |
| 1:20.8 | handy and to really ponder on because these are clues about the qualities that you feel are needed for you to be authentic. |
| 1:30.5 | And therefore, these are the qualities that you can now work on cultivating more of in yourself. |
| 1:37.7 | Now, for today, day 13, I want to bring up a quote that I just read today, and I felt it would be perfect for this challenge. It really struck me, and it stayed with me, because it is really powerful, and it applies to the kind of self-expiration that we're doing here. So right now I'm reading this amazing book, The Great Pain Deception, by author and teacher Steve |
| 2:09.7 | Ozanich. |
| 2:11.4 | And the quote from the book that I feel is relevant to us is as follows. |
| 2:17.7 | Change is often more frightening than pain. |
| 2:22.7 | Wow. So let me repeat that. |
| 2:25.7 | Change is often more frightening than pain. |
| 2:30.3 | I think this is very much true. |
| 2:33.3 | As humans, we often fear change much more than we fear pain, |
| 2:39.3 | which is why we sometimes stay in situations and circumstances that are causing us hurt or suffering or stuckness, |
