The Authenticated Podcast: Recent Episodes
Brittany Bolton
I’m here to be real with you! My name is Brittany and I will be your host! I will be sharing my personal stories with a focus on topics that aren't often addressed, but that need to be brought from the dark into the light; with the occasional assistance of my guest-hosts. The purpose of this Podcast is for my listeners to relate to the subject matter and know that they are NOT alone. Let's go on this journey together, Authentically navigating life and getting REAL with each other!
Tune in for my long-weekend episode where I share my best kept secret! It has been SO hard for me to not shout it from the rooftops, but I am working on practicing patience. Now that it has officially been 1 month, it’s time to spill the beans!
Has someone ever triggered you? So much so that it feels like there is smoke coming out of your nostrils in a fiery rage? SAME. Isn't it a joyful feeling? Naw. Why do triggers exist though? For fun? I don't think so. Triggers are a lesson, people are in our lives purposefully to help us see ourselves and to grow to our fullest potential, as we do for them in return for their triggers. How we respond, and look inward at our triggers vs projecting and looking outward is a true indicator of our willingness, to grow, learn, and evolve. In this weeks episode I discuss my recent vacation, and how it triggered the heck out of me. Have I made it out onto the other side? You will have to listen to find out!
Ever felt insecure? Ever avoided living abundantly and fully because of those insecurities? We ALL have had feelings of insecurity in our lives, lets be honest with ourselves. It is how we deal with those feelings that is truly telling. Recently, I have discovered the secret-sauce on how to deal with my insecurities through the power of mindfulness. One mantra and awareness that I keep top of mind everyday that works like absolute magic to erase any moments I feel insecure, fearful, or like I am missing out on life. Tune in to learn more about my mindful-mantra & how you can heal your insecurities with the power of this same mindset!
It's a weird world we live in, where everyone is plugging in to technology to connect, judging and compartmentalizing friendships, families and circles due to peoples individual choices during a global pandemic, and the amount of likes, views, and followers is a determining factor of status and self validation. I think I may have been born in the wrong generation. Very little of this way of living is relatable to me, and I am here to call out how I truly feel about all of this, in hopes that we can come together, not tear apart! Let's go back to simpler times!
I haven't even smoked weed, or touched a cigarette, or done a drug. So I thought WHY NOT just jump right into trying shrooms...
Now I will be honest, I have always been the last person I know to touch a drug. However, recently I have been further educated on the benefits to mental health and spiritual breakthroughs if shrooms are used in the right way, setting, and guided. I asked my boyfriend Michael to be my guide through my experience which I pursued with the intention to conquer my fear, and anxiety, and to be grateful for the journey that I was meant to have.
Have you ever been in an abusive relationship? Me too. For the first time in my 30's I experienced trauma. Mrs. Happy-go-lucky, was not so happy anymore; culture-shocked into a new and devastating scenario that would rock my world.
On this weekends episode, I get personal; real personal. I have to say, this is my favorite episode yet. It took me weeks to find the words, and to finally put them into a recording, but after living on the other side of my comfort zone, I am finally able to articulate my story; the unhappy, yet defining chapter in my life. Welcome to my personal journey on 'What it's like to date a Narcissist."
Do you ever get the urge to chat with certain friends about the personal parts of your life that you can’t always share with everyone? Same. I’m very private about my love life, and my personal dating experiences; some of my closest friends aren’t even savvy to some of the information I’m about to discuss on this episode. Join me and two of my closest friends Inessa and Christine; 3 friends, 1 engaged, 1 in a relationship, and 1 single, navigating life, dating, and spiritual awakening!
Jessica recently gave me a reading and I was mind blown! Not even 4 weeks had passed in speaking with her when one of the things we discussed came true. She was so accurate, thorough, and full of personality and authenticity, that I could not RESIST having her on The Authenticated Podcast. For the next hour and a half Jessica and I will be chatting: Chakra's, Reiki, Past Life, Energy, Manifestation, Cleansing & Card Deck Readings! Join us while she teaches us how to connect to our higher power in order to sustain our best possible life!
Let's be real...how often do you attach to things? Thoughts? Ideas? Outcomes? Being right? Think about it. ' I can't like anyone else because I am SO attached to my ex and our memories', 'I am so attached to being right that I cannot even have an open mind to understanding this other persons perspective, it's impossible!', 'If this vacation doesn't go exactly like I expected for it to then it is RUINED', 'If I just attach onto the good things, than the bad things don't matter...'. No. Un-attach. Now. Free yourself from being so attached to every, darn, thing and just start living, freely, without expectation or attachment. The person who is always right, is never the smartest person in the room, stop limiting yourself by attaching so strongly to your thoughts, ideas, and outcomes.
For 33, almost 34 years I have been living in fear. I just realized this within the past year of my life; who knew?! As a confident, introvert-extrovert, I used to pride myself on being a big personality and very self-aware. Turns out that you can be all of those things, and equally afraid. I have had debilitating fears that have kept me in the shadows of my own abilities for years; and it's time to come out of the shadows. It is time to flourish and step into my true purpose. Doing so requires living on the other side of my comfort zone, on the other side of my fear. In this week's episode, I give you a glimpse into my life, my journey through my fear, and my awareness of the fear, and leave some lessons along the way!
Recently I’ve experienced some unexpected events. Events that I now realize were not happening TO me, yet were happening FOR me. I have been exploring my consciousness to achieve enlightenment on my route to inner peace. This month has taught me that path to inner peace IS achieved through surrender. A weight has been lifted now that I have this awareness; I was meant to learn these lessons! I no longer ask why things are happening, but embrace all shifting tides with open arms and gratitude!
Have you ever wanted to grow your own produce? Save money? Nurture something and care for it on your own?Well on today’s episode I have special guest Caitlyn; founder of Grow Spaces. Grow Spaces wants to change your relationship with food, give you a means to self-sustainability, encourage your passion around the food that’s nourishing your body, and be with you every step of the way! Let’s grow together!
I have always been on the eating-well bandwagon. Whenever I am eating well, I am sleeping well, feeling well, and have an abundance of energy! However, after chatting with Justin, I realized that there is so much more that I can be doing to truly maximize my personal health potential! It’s all about customizing to your personal requirements and macronutrients. Everyone is different, and our nutrition should be a reflection of our individual needs.
What better way to kick of season 2 of The Authenticated Podcast than having Best-Selling Author JB LEXINGTON on to discuss her book 'Forever Eve' and new release 'After Eve'.

Feeling uninspired in your job? Lacking authoritative and influential leadership that you wish you had? I've been there.

This is my journey from rough beginnings working in the dark with little to no guidance, to being excited to get up for work everyday because I am inspired to wake up to great leadership and support!
