Beyond Authentic

Homecoming community time

Breaking the Mold
Unlock your colorful, authentic self.
Read time: 4 minutes.

It’s a lazy Saturday afternoon

Across the screen, a warm smile greets me, belonging to a woman in her 30s from the bustling streets of New York.

We are in the midst of a discovery call when she hits pause and asks:

“What are the tangible outcomes I can expect from embracing authenticity?”

Hi there,

Welcome to another vibrant edition of Breaking the Mold, a newsletter crafted with love and jazz to inspire you to own the richness of your authenticity.

This week…

Your colorful voice takes center stage.

Every 4th edition I'm thrilled to amplify your thoughts and experiences and as I received this question, I thought, “What an excellent question for my Homecoming community”.

Do people really wonder why they should be authentic?

Oh yes, it’s a hesitation that dances through the minds of many.

After 7 years of coaching, consulting, and speaking on the topic, I’ve noticed that the more north we go - and the more in the head people are - the more common it is.

So, what are the tangible outcomes of authenticity?

This is where you come in.

I invite you to share your insights, stories, and opinions.

Whether it's a personal triumph, a professional milestone, or a moment of self-discovery (at work, home, or beyond) - your answer matters.

Simply click reply.
(no judgment)

If you don’t know who you are, someone else will tell you who you should be.

I deeply believe…

Neither of us makes our life, family, business, or community more humane by surrendering what makes us different.

And yet...

I see talented, caring, and ambitious people surrender what makes them different - Every. Darn. Day.

Help me break the mold.

Share your real, raw, and loving answers with me and I’ll share them (anonymously) with the world to make authenticity the norm.

To help those who minimize themselves, hold back, and settle for less to come home.

And maybe, persuade those who mold others to be less creative, less ambitious, and less [you name it] - to let people be.

Let’s break the mold. Let’s come home.

Are you with me?

With boundless enthusiasm - and a touch of jazz,
Yours truly
