In this short episode, Özlem explores the meaning of authenticity as a daily practice rather than an idea. She shares how many of us learn to perform in order to be accepted, and how this performance slowly disconnects us from our truth, our needs, and our natural confidence. Özlem explains what authenticity really looks like in everyday life, how to notice the small moments where you abandon yourself, and how to return to your real voice without fear or pressure. She offers a gentle reminder that life becomes clearer and lighter when you stop performing and start showing up as who you are. This is a solo episode where Özlem invites you to relax your energy, choose honesty over approval, and come back to the version of you that feels true and aligned. In this episode, you will learn about: • What authenticity means in daily life • Why performing for acceptance creates emotional disconnection • How to recognize moments where you hide your real self • The impact of speaking your truth with clarity and softness • Practical ways to live closer to who you really are 🎙️ Host: Özlem Özkan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ozkanozlem/ Website: www.ozkanozlem.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ozlemozkan/
