Here at Let's Be Authentic, we believe that....

​

💛 Honesty without kindness is brutality, kindness without honesty is manipulation

💛 Loving human connection is a fundamental need (like food, water and breathing)

💛 Because of the culture many of us were steeped in, we get used to the feeling of loneliness so much so that we are able to ignore the signs of starvation

💛 We can be mirrors for one another

💛 Relationships (romantic & platonic) are growing machines

💛 Relational trauma can create patterns which make it seem like all people are unsafe

💛 Healthy, loving connection can help heal old relational wounds

💛 We are not born knowing how to relate

💛 There are skills that help connection feel easier

💛 Structure and boundaries make often help connecting with others feel safer and more expansive

💛 We all have the inner wisdom to navigate our own journeys and we can do so even more easily when we have the support of others walking along side us

💛 It can take practice to become a authentic communicator

💛 We're all students of the human experience

💛 Hugs can be healing

💛 By witnessing others journeys, it provides opportunity for us to reflect on our own journeys

💛 The whole is greater than the sum of its parts (especially when compassion is involved!)

💛 Validation and empathy can heal the world

💛 Isolation, when out of self protection is only surviving | healthy loving connection is thriving

💛 Conflict can bring closer, more deep connection (the repair is key!)

💛 While we're here as humans on this planet (and all the ups and downs of the human experience), we can make our lives easier to navigate when we come together with love, boundaries, and our truth.
