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 16, is to reflect on this prompt: what do I believe would happen if I stopped focusing on making everyone else happy and started meeting my own needs?

| 0:00.0 | Hello, and welcome back to Inner Work. |
| 0:06.1 | I'm your host, Josephine Hartman. |
| 0:08.7 | This is day 16 of my 30-day authenticity challenge. |
| 0:13.6 | I'm so glad you have returned to continue our work together. |
| 0:18.4 | If you've been getting something out of this podcast and specifically out of this |
| 0:23.7 | series on authenticity, and you would like to support the podcast to make sure it stays on the air, |
| 0:31.3 | you can check out my resources for self-healing through the link in the show notes. These are guided healing journeys that you can do |
| 0:40.2 | and they are designed to help you do the deep inner work that you are being called to do |
| 0:46.9 | with my companionship and guidance along the way. Yesterday for day 15, I asked you to take some time for yourself to shut out the |
| 0:58.3 | external world, which I hope you did do. I hope you were able to do that. And I asked you to explore |
| 1:06.3 | the three essential qualities of your authentic self, So who you really are beyond any kind of |
| 1:15.4 | idealized version of who you think you ought to be or should be. Of course, now the work |
| 1:22.4 | includes as you move forward, mindfully and consciously expressing more of those three qualities in your |
| 1:30.0 | life. This will allow you to live more as your authentic self until eventually that is all that you are. |
| 1:39.4 | Because anything that is a facade or a mask or a pretense or just not a reflection of who you truly are |
| 1:47.3 | is going to naturally fall away. Today for day 16 of the challenge, I think we need to talk |
| 1:55.6 | a little bit more about making other people happy at the expense of yourself. |
| 2:03.4 | This is such a common pattern for many of us highly sensitive, empathic, |
| 2:10.1 | considerate, highly conscientious people. |
| 2:14.5 | Sometimes we live mostly or only for others, making sure they're taking care of, that they |
| 2:22.0 | are fed and content, that they are comfortable with the temperature around them, that they have |
