Hello, Authenticity!: Recent Episodes
Adelynn Lim
Hi I'm Adelynn! I have created this podcast to share experience, practical and useful information on how you can embrace your authenticity and be who you are meant to be. This journey is not for the faint-hearted as it will challenge you.
Being authentically you means that you are able to self-orient and self-express, without having to worry about how others might perceive or approve of you. It's all about turning inward and allowing yourself to experience the freedom you so deserved.
YOU are enough and let's discuss what works to support you on your path.

But, this 'being yourself' may easily be interpreted as choosing what you're already familiar or comfortable with to which you might reply, 'That's me, being authentic to who I am".
Yet, this could be far from truth since it might also entail that, that's you being authentic to who you think you are, rather.

Patience that comes with frustrations serves as an invitation for awareness, curiosity and imagination that will bring you inspiration for pivoting. Understand that patience is a great quality in everyday life and it is just as important to check in with yourself from time to time to make sure you are also seeing things under a new light and fresh perspective to reach the outcome that you desire. As Albert Einstein put it, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results." Avoid doing things repeatedly in the name of patience that you miss out on clues that may enrich the experience you have in mind. Let me expand more on what I mean based on a recent experience I had, take a listen and let me know what you thoughts are.

Given the 'old' me, I would have stayed quiet in anger and resentment being dragged into such an unexpected standoff with someone who also happened to be a new neighbour. But, not anymore and I want to demonstrate to others in a similar situation that no matter how riled up you are in a conflict, you can act assertively with respect and empathy. The bottom line is, you do YOU and let go of how others may think of you. In cases where you find yourself seemingly avoiding these uncomfortable situations, let this story show you how life always throws the challenges in your way until you finally learn what you are supposed to learn and grow. See them as opportunities, not hardship. Take a listen and I hope you will gain some valuable insights from it.

In the brief span of time that we are living on Earth, how can live more wisely with the understanding that everything that we experience, positive or negative, is mainly impermanent. When things are great, we tend to take them for granted and when things are not in such a good shape, we get so trapped and lost in them, hindering us from thinking clearly and doing what actually serves us the most. Life is meant to have ups and downs so that we can learn, grow and evolve in our consciousness. When we understand that life always happens for us to fit the very lessons we need individually, may we stop comparing and competing among ourselves to be recognized and seen for who we are and start to tune into the present moment to make the best of every opportunities we have been given.

Conscious Parenting method has been widely known to be spearheaded by globally renowned clinical psychologist and author, Dr Shefali by bringing together the wisdom from the east and the knowledge of the West. Like most parents, you may want to learn more about Conscious Parenting initially to find out how you can parent your children more efficiently and effectively only to realize that it is a byproduct instead. At the heart of it, you will eventually come to a profound shift of paradigm that the parent-child relationship you are in is meant for you to grow and come back to who you truly are. In the same time when you realize the freedom of you true essence, you learn to embrace the parenthood journey as a great blessing to humanity and set your children free to be who they are meant to be.

Perfectionism can bring dilemmas sometimes between creating great quality of work and performance, and its potential as a factor of stress and burnout. Knowing how to find the balance between the two aspects is absolutely crucial to avoid slipping into a habit that stalls progress and productivity.
The obsession of being perfect all the time is delusional at best because perfection doesn't exist and therefore can never be attainable. Having awareness that you are caught in it is half the battle, understanding what's behind the pursuit of perfection makes it surmountable and embracing any imperfections is probably the best way forward.

Emotions carry important message that will lead and guide us towards the very aspects of ourselves that need more care and attention. When our emotions become overwhelming, it is hard to think clearly and our decision-making ability will be affected. We can be so trapped in our emotions that we may not even realize the way to out of it is in fact, simple and right in front of us. In this episode, we will dive into how handling the first 90 seconds as emotional wave hits can make a huge difference in the way you approach the challenges in life.

Are you feeling sensitive about the remarks coming from others or being told often that you come across as "too sensitive" as such it's nothing serious? It is good to distinguish from your high sensitivity towards the actions and behaviors and how they impact you, from the insensitivity of others who are incapable to notice their own doings affecting others. Led by a personal story, I'd share with you three things that I have learned to navigate high sensitivity as a strength and not a weakness.

Are you struggling with impostor syndrome? Impostor syndrome can potentially hold you back from what you are capable of doing and stall your progress. Hence, it would be helpful to understand it well and notice in what context does it usually show up in your life. When you can shine awareness on it, you will be able to cope and deal with it more effectively.
As I looked further into this myself, I realized that it is actually a state of mind that can be managed if we know how. As we break it down, you will find that it can be linked to handling your emotions, signs of perfectionism and to some extent, simply a lack of understanding of the threshold of your level of experience and expertise in your endeavors - all of which can be improved upon.
Take a listen to this week's episode and let me share with you my findings to avoid impostor syndrome spiraling into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Being authentic and true to yourself is very liberating and allows you to function effectively in all areas of your life. You don't live by the expectations of others of you and step into your own authority, knowing you can make your own choices and decisions, despite what others may think of you. Anything that is short of being joyful, peaceful and equanimous serves as a sign that you are slowly deviating from your true essence as a human being. If you simply take heed of that with awareness, you can progressively make corrections, live a more fulfilled life and become you are meant to be.

This idea of taking full responsibilities (doing your part) in any circumstances you find yourself in, can provide a sense of freedom that propels you forward than to stay feeling "stuck" wherever you might be right now. It will require a shift in your mindset so that you can redirect your energy towards creating empowering change you need in your life and walk away from the traps of 'poor me, why me', 'victimhood' or 'self-pity' mentality that stifled your true potential.
