#5 - What is Authenticity Really? (It's not what you think it is)
5 Plays1 day ago
Authenticity isn’t an aesthetic. It’s a decision...
And it often looks less like curated confidence… and more like radical self-respect.
In this episode, I strip the buzzword down to the bone—and offer you a soul-rooted definition of authenticity grounded in Human Design, somatics, and real-life liberation.
🔍 In this episode, you’ll explore:
- Why “authenticity” has become another performance
- The difference between being visible and being true
- How Human Design and somatic work reveal your conditioning
- Questions to help you return to your truth in everyday life

Exploring Authenticity Beyond Marketing
00:00:58
Michele Martin
Today we're pulling the veil back on a word that gets tossed around a lot, authenticity. We see it on Instagram bios, in marketing taglines, on coffee mugs and journal covers, but what does it really mean to live an authentic life?
00:01:19
Michele Martin
I want to offer you a deeper take, not the curated branded version of authenticity, but the sacred sometimes messy, soul-led version.
00:01:32
Michele Martin
The one that's not always cute. The one that sometimes costs you relationship, roles, and your former self. So let's be honest.
00:01:43

In the world of online business and spiritual spaces, authenticity can become, hmm, just another performance.
The Challenge of True Authenticity

The I'm being real post that still feeds the algorithm, but real authenticity? It doesn't always photograph well. It looks like saying no, even when your voice shakes.

Leaving the job that gives you status, but drains your soul. Not being who your family wants you to be. And telling the truth, even when it makes things awkward.
Tools for Authentic Living: Human Design and Somatic Work
00:02:28
Michele Martin
For me, authenticity isn't about being seen. It's about self-reverence. It's the moment you choose yourself again and again, even when it disappoints others.
00:02:44
Michele Martin
It's a decision to return to your own resonance. And sometimes that decision is inconvenient. Sometimes it's lonely. But every single time, it's liberating.
00:02:58
Michele Martin
And this is why i bring human design and somatic work into the conversation. Because authenticity is so much more than mindset. It lives in the body.
00:03:12
Michele Martin
Your strategy and authority help you to return to your truth.
Aligning with True Self: Undoing Roles and Performances
00:03:17
Michele Martin
Your undefined centers can show you where you've been performing. And your profile reveals how you're here to move in the world.
00:03:27
Michele Martin
And authenticity is about undoing, not just adding. And your body, your energy will always tell you when something is aligned or not.
00:03:42
Michele Martin
So today, I invite you to ask yourself, where am I still performing? What roles do I still feel i need to maintain?
00:03:54
Michele Martin
