Today's episode is for anyone who cares way too much about other people’s opinions and perceptions.

I am really excited to introduce to you marketing expert Jazelle Foster. I invited her on the show to get her hot take on how identity plays into how we may subconsciously market ourselves to a prospective partner, whether that's on a dating app or just simply in our overall identity.

And I even more deeply wanted to explore how the identity that we show to the world shifts when we start to step into a more authentic sexuality.

Jazelle explains that attracting the person that we want truly hinges on our ability to allow our most authentic identity, our most authentic version of ourselves to shine through as brightly as possible. By the end of the episode, you'll learn not only why we stay in identities that aren't in alignment with our deepest desires, but how to say eff it to ALL of it! So that we can say, “Actually, I'm allowed and safe to step into who I am!” It’s recognizing that you don’t need to act out a role in order to be loved!
