Being able to tell the difference between when someone is "performing" and being their natural selves can be tricky. On the latest episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, I talk about the difference between performing and being energy, and how to recognize when you are using it as an empowering tool vs hiding behind it. I also share examples on how to notice when you, or others, are performing rather than being true to the heart, situation, and what needs to be acknowledged in order to heal and grow. In addition, I share reasons why behavioral tendencies of performing vs being can impact health, self-esteem and self-care, and how to shift towards more self-supportive habits.
