#80 Why Do I Have To Fake It?  - Greta Solomon

 March 22nd, 2022

"And it was a massive learning because I thought, why do I have to fake it? Why do I have to pretend that I'm okay. And I think that point comes to many of us at some point. It came to me really early, I was like 21. It came super early that I'm not going to fake it at work." Greta Solomon

Greta Solomon  and I talk about self-expression. We talk how to express ourselves at work so we get our message across, the importance of being our real self and not to fake it to fit in, and how using our own voice, and not a Shakespearian persona, is okay. The idea of living a divided or disconnected life comes up and how connecting to our creative energy is massively underrated. Greta explains that being able to express our own creativity is the missing piece of the wellness picture. We explore gratitude and she explains why the practice needs to come with a warning. Greta shares insights on writing at work and on the power of journalling.
