Be bold, be brave enough to be your true self. Queen Latifah, American actress and rapper
In the book The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Debbie Ford, asserts that as children our personalities are like mansions with many rooms. Unfortunately, as we get older we choose to shut down different parts of ourselves, closing off the rooms that either we or others deem as “not appropriate.”
Some pundits think that one reason Taylor Swift is so popular is that she’s true to herself. In other words, she doesn’t bow to what others, especially the patriarchy, are telling her to do or be—she’s refusing to “close off rooms.” They believe her Eras Tour offered a variety of ways to present aspects of identity. In fact, the song “Look What You Made Me Do” expresses the notion of revenge and rebirth in order to become a smarter, stronger person.
Affirmation: I will be true to myself!
Coaching questions: What “rooms” have you closed off? What has it cost you? What will it take to be true to yourself and fully open the mansion that is your personality?
