How do we strike the balance between being accepted socially as we live in community, while also staying true to ourselves as authentic individuals? We understand that humans are inherently social beings. We're wired to seek connection and belonging within community. Whether through family, friends, or larger social groups, our need for meaningful relationships is deeply ingrained in our nature. But there seems to be a delicate balance between fitting in and staying true to ourselves within the context of community, and in today's conversation, I want to explore how the power of journaling for self-awareness and values-awareness, can offer us practical strategies for navigating this complex terrain. Offering Food for Thought, take what you need & take good care. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thejournalcoachingpodcast/support
