For years, I prioritized approval over authenticity—seeking validation from people and God instead of living in alignment with my own values. I share two moments when I blatantly lied over something small just to maintain an image, and I open up about the painful experience and staying silent after fact. I also dive into how constantly living for others took a serious toll on my mental, emotional, and physical health—leading to a panic attack that landed me in the ER. Now, I’m learning to choose authenticity over approval, build independence, and embrace the discomfort of living truthfully. If you’ve struggled with people-pleasing, religious conditioning, or breaking free from shame, this episode is for you.   Becoming You- Religion Recovery www.jessicamoorecoaching.com Instagram: @jessicadmoore_ @becomingyou.journey
