E61. Life as a Continuous Intentional Return to the Self

Is being performative always bad? Not when it functions to give you a better understanding of your true nature. In this episode I discuss performativity and authenticity, and the cycle of separation from and return to the self that constitutes fulfilling our potential as human beings. Learn the difference between the discomfort of straying from your true nature and the uncomfortableness of going against convention or expectation, as well as how to use performativity as a counterintuitive methodology for developing more self-confidence and greater peace with yourself and the world. This will especially resonate with INFPs and INFJs, who are inclined toward authentic engagement.
