I Don’t Fake ‘O’s Anymore—So Why Would I Fake My Life? EP 43

Have you ever pretended to be okay just to fit in — whether in the bedroom, at a party, or in your everyday life? In this raw and honest episode, I explore what happens when we stop faking it and start living in truth.

I share a personal story about the temptation to “go along to get along,” and the deeper truth of why our nervous system craves belonging. We’ll dive into:

• Why social rejection lights up the same part of the brain as physical pain
• How your vagus nerve and social engagement system drive your need to fit in
• Why pretending to belong keeps you stuck in survival mode
• What it really takes to feel safe, connected, and authentic without performance

This episode is for any woman who has ever hidden parts of herself just to keep the peace, blend in, or avoid rejection. It’s about reclaiming your wholeness, building nervous system safety, and choosing belonging that doesn’t require abandoning yourself.

🔗 Listen now and let’s explore how to stop faking it — in every area of life — and finally live from truth.
