Happiness Through Authenticity with Jacquelyn Phillips - a podcast by Jessica Sun

Feeling unfulfilled, unhappy, or dissatisfied? It's time to find out why and build your happiness step-by-step through self-esteem, confidence, and being authentic to the real you, not the character. The effects will ripple into the work you do as well as your community. 

Jacquelyn is a photographer and author of Comfortably Uncomfortable: The Road to Happiness Isn't Always Paved. The book is a story of change and a memoir about breaking down her biggest obstacle—herself.

Quotes to remember: 

“It’s very humbling to have to surrender.” 

“It’s really easy to get lost in fitting a mold… but it’s never fulfilling and it’s never satisfying.”

“Ultimately, you have to let go of the judgment you hold against yourself.”

Takeaways:

• We continue to grow in adulthood emotionally
• There is comfort in authenticity
• You can’t be unfulfilled and run on empty for very long before something changes
• It’s okay for plans to change
• Building a routine you’re proud of will build your confidence
• Question to ponder: Who are you, really, aside from the person who goes to work and tends to the family?
• Everything comes after you liking yourself
• You don’t need to take things personally

What you’ll learn:

• About Jacquelyn’s “make-or-break” moment in her life when everything had to change
• How to move beyond the attitude of buying something will make me happier
• How she built her self-esteem and how that affected her business
• Tips for building your self-esteem
