You're listening to the Vibrant Happy Women podcast. We're talking about authenticity today. Not only how we can be authentic, but how we can allow our kids to be their authentic selves as well. Are you ready to expand your soul's capacity for joy? Then this podcast is for you. I'm Dr. Jen Ridey and welcome to

Vibran's happy women. Hey, my friends, I'm Jen Ridey and welcome back to Vibrant Happy Women. I am so excited

about today's topic today because it's about authenticity, being true to ourselves, but also allowing our kids

to be true to themselves. I've been facing a big challenge with one of my daughters

lately regarding schooling and what she needs to be her most authentic self. In this episode,

I share very vulnerably what that has been like, what we've

experienced, how I helped my daughter cut her hair. And I hope that you can resonate because if

you're a mom, there comes a point when you want things for your kids. You want them to be liked,

to be successful, to have friends, to achieve,

to be able to work a job that pays well one day, which would require good grades to get

into college. It can be devastating. I know by very many experiences with some of my six kids,

can be devastating to see our kids not following that socially constructed

path of quote unquote success. This episode is very important, not only to see how we can be

authentic, but how we can allow our kids to live true to themselves and not need to control

that or feel shame about that.

So I hope this helps you.

I want to mention that the Vibrant Happy Women Retreat is live.

The 2024 retreat is happening.

You can learn more at genride.com slash retreat. The early bird prices end soon.

So check that out as soon as you hear this, genriday.com slash retreat. This past year, we were

together in Punta Kana, 60 women and myself. And we had a lovely, lovely time.

I can't tell you how good it feels for me to get away from my family, the pressures of, you know, daily life, the cold of Wisconsin.
