Are You Censoring Yourself?

Sep 23, 2025

Yes, I am. Way too much. I do it in so many ways. Sure, I do it less now. But compared with when times were different, objectively, and I was younger, before cancellations, still more. So I'm asking myself that question - as I'm asking you. Why? Well, there is public shunning. Which is not pleasant, at all, having experienced it twice. But today I would have handled it differently. I would have leaned in, and shown up, instead of being consumed by shame. Therefore, increasingly, I'm feeling this deep longing for freedom in self-expression, while still being mindful with how to use this liberty. So why are you censoring yourself? And what is the impact of that censorship? 

New studies show how destructive it is for our health and well-being, especially for women, to censor ourselves. So if you were to live out loud this week, to live uncensored, what would that look like, feel like, taste like? What is the taste of liberation to you? And can you make it sexy?
