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 9, is to reflect on your career, job, and workplace and make two lists: one of moments where you allowed your authentic self to shine through at work, and one of moments where you did not (more specific guidelines in the episode).

| 0:33.8 | help you do the deep inner work that you are being called to do with my companionship |
| 0:39.2 | and guidance along the way. So I wanted to open today's episode for day nine with a quote from |
| 0:50.0 | author and teacher and physician, Gabor Mate. |
| 0:56.7 | So he is an addiction specialist. |
| 0:59.3 | You might also know him from his very powerful, very meaningful work on trauma. |
| 1:06.5 | So Matte says, |
| 1:08.7 | authenticity isn't a spiritual concept. |
| 1:12.7 | Authenticity is a survival necessity. |
| 1:16.9 | So basically, in his understanding, humans have two primary survival needs. |
| 1:24.0 | One is for attachment, so to attach meaningfully and lovingly with our parents, primarily |
| 1:33.0 | our mothers as we are little babies and infants, and then to continue building those attachments |
| 1:40.4 | with other humans as we move through life. |
| 1:47.6 | And the second survival need is for authenticity. |
| 1:54.7 | In other words, if you can't be authentic, if you don't allow yourself to be authentic, |
| 2:06.3 | this is kind of a survival crisis because eventually you will wither away and part of you will die. |
