Pushing Through the Discomfort of True Authenticity
Me to You: Tell stories. With realness. (hashtag authenticity high fives all the things)
Me to Me: Ohhhh. You copping out, Havener? Practice what you preach.

Authenticity doesn't mean "share everything"
You set your own boundaries
You pick the topics
But once you pick em, own em
Authenticity doesn't mean a particular topic
It's a vibe around any topic
Check it:
Writing about your job? Share what scared you on your first day, how it feels now
Writing about being a founder? Talk about the messy parts, the 3am wake ups
Writing about investing? Share a mistake you made and what you learned
I had to practice what I preach
I am glad I did
Connection happens in shared human experience.
