This is brilliant. I find myself shrinking from even using the word authenticity due to how bent out of shape it’s become. Maybe it’s my Gemini Rising but I resonate with your metaphor of a color wheel. Adaptability is part of authenticity! I’ve been shifting how I share my words, part of what’s brought me to relaunching my Substack, & these are great prompts especially for Instagram. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Kelly, thanks so much for reading and for such a thoughtful comment! I too find myself cringing whenever I use the word ‘authenticity’ (along with the word ‘journey’ but for totally different reasons!). We need some new words 😆
