🌿 Authentic Self Emerging
Episode 22 | Unbox The Podcast with Sahar Huneidi Palmer
Are you living life as the real you, or as the version you’ve been taught to be? That’s the question I explore in this week’s episode of Unbox The Podcast. And it’s an important one.
We often live by silent scripts: what we should do, who we should be, what others expect of us. But those scripts aren’t always our own. Eventually, the gap between who we are inside and how we live outside becomes impossible to ignore.
In Episode 22, I talk about what it really means to walk forward as your Real Self, authentic self, and how to make decisions from a place of clarity, not pressure.
đź’« Authentic Self Is About Alignment, Not Perfection
Being authentic isn’t about being loud or dramatic. It’s about alignment—how your body, emotions, mind, and actions work together.
That’s the BEMA framework I created:
-
B for Body: What is your energy telling you?
-
E for Emotions: Are your feelings showing truth or resistance?
-
M for Mind & Beliefs: What outdated story are you holding on to?
-
A for Accountability: What is one aligned action you can take right now?
Living authentically means walking in step with yourself. It’s not about having it all figured out—it’s about choosing to stop betraying yourself.
✨ A Few Real Stories
In this episode, I share stories of clients who’ve faced these very questions.
Like Layla, who was excellent in her corporate role but deeply unfulfilled. She just wanted to write. Her body relaxed when she thought about writing. Emotionally, she felt joy. But her mind? It was full of “that’s not a real job.”
Or Samir, who feared leaving his finance job for design. The fear wasn’t really about money—it was about judgement. Once he named that, he could move forward.
Their breakthroughs weren’t dramatic. They started with one aligned step.
🔄 It’s Not About Pressure
Our world glorifies pressure: hustle, deadlines, doing more. But pressure burns you out.
Momentum, on the other hand, builds from presence. It energises.
That’s what this episode is about: building your own rhythm, trusting your inner compass, and walking forward from a place of ease—not urgency.
🧠Practical Reflection
In the episode, I guide you through a simple check-in:
-
What or who have you outgrown?
-
What makes you feel most like yourself?
-
What one step feels right now?
Circle the answer that warms your heart. That’s your next step.
It really can be that simple.
