You are not for everybody, and that’s the best news of your life. In this episode, we dive into the freedom that comes when you finally stop chasing universal approval and start showing up as who you really are.Most of us confuse connection with validation. We’re so afraid of rejection that we shapeshift, hoping to be accepted by everyone. But validation without authenticity is fragile, it crumbles the moment you change context. Authenticity, on the other hand, creates stability and attracts the right people, the ones who actually see you.As we close out Season 1 of The Adults’ Table, I reflect on what this season has taught me, the power of starting, and what’s coming next for Season 2.If you’ve ever felt torn between fitting in and being yourself, this episode is your reminder: you’re not for everybody, and that’s exactly what makes you magnetic to the right people.🎙 Socials⁠https://www.instagram.com/theadultstableshow/⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@theadultstableshow⁠Merch⁠https://theadultstableshow.printful.me/⁠Newsletter⁠https://thefernandarodrigues.substack.com/⁠#theadultstableshow #podcasts #selfgrowth #lifeadvice
