The Art of Unlearning to Find Your Authentic Self


To Unlearn is:

Everything that led me to the woman I am today, the woman I am still becoming, has been all about unlearning the bullshit beliefs that were handed to me. I didn’t create some new version of myself—she was always there, waiting.


Things I had to unlearn (some are still a work in progress):

  • Rules of diet culture.

  • Constant stories of “not enough” that were drilled into me.

  • The definition of success that was passed on through family, society, school, even social media.

  • Seeking external approval to feel worthy.

  • That taking time for me is "selfish."

  • Pleasing everyone else at the expense of my own happiness.

  • Saying YES to be agreeable. (Each time you say yes when you mean no, you lose a little bit of yourself.)

  • Holding in the feels because we weren't taught any other way.

There were so many stories about myself that were keeping me from becoming the woman I was meant to be.

It wasn’t about adding more or changing who I was. It has been about unlearning all the crap layered on top of who I’ve always been.
