What It Costs to Be Seen

Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive. Have you ever shared something personal and later wondered, “Should I have said that?” Maybe you replayed the conversation afterward. Worried about how someone interpreted what you said. Or wished you could take it back. Lauren and Blaine have both experienced that uncomfortable feeling of being seen and then second-guessing themselves. In this episode, they talk about what can happen after we put ourselves out there, including Lauren’s decision to delete podcast episodes she had already recorded and Blaine’s vulnerability hangover after sharing a very personal story. Why are we sometimes comfortable being ourselves until we imagine someone judging us? The conversation explores self-consciousness, fear of criticism, authenticity, and why some of us are especially sensitive to judgment, including what the Five Elements can reveal about our inner critic and our ability to let things go.
