Maria Mojo Mondays: The Freedom of Being Unapologetically You!

Hey Mindset Maverick,

Here’s the truth bomb:

The more you hide, filter, or shrink who you are…
the more exhausted and disconnected you’ll feel.

So many high-achievers I work with are burnt out, not just because of work —
but because they’ve been performing instead of living.
Twisting themselves to fit in.
Masking what makes them bold, vibrant, unique.
Turning the volume down on their soul just to “succeed.”

And let me tell you — it’s soul-taxing.
It’s the kind of tired that sleep doesn’t fix.

It’s the kind of tired that will negatively impact your mental health and your overall happiness.

It’s the kind of tired that is unnecessary - because after all, is there really anyone else to be but being true to who you are to the core?

🧠 Let’s talk mindset

When you're not being fully yourself, the subconscious narrative is:

That mindset keeps you stuck in:

• People-pleasing

• Over-editing

• Second-guessing

• And burnout from trying to be everything but you

But here’s the good news...

🔥 The opposite of burnout isn’t balance — it’s authenticity.

When you let yourself:

• Speak the truth that’s actually on your heart

• Wear what makes you feel like fire

• Make decisions aligned with your core values

• Say no without guilt and yes without explanation...

You stop living for permission.
And you start living in power.

“Your authenticity isn’t negotiable.”

I’ll repeat those words as many times as it takes — to anyone who needs to hear them.

Because trying to fit into other people’s vision of what you “should” be, do, say or think is a trap - one that will keep you from living a happy and healthy life!

And you know what? Life is too frickin’ short in the bigger scheme of things to do that!

🛠️ Mojo Mindset Shifts to Be Unapologetically YOU:

1️⃣ Remind yourself: authenticity isn't risky — it's required.
Every time you filter yourself to fit in, you pay with your peace.

2️⃣ Notice where you're code-switching your energy.
Are you toning down your ideas, your joy, your voice in certain rooms?
Catch it. Pause. Realign.

3️⃣ Ask: “Am I doing this for acceptance or alignment?”
If it’s not aligned with who you really are… let it go.

4️⃣ Make space for yourself, not just everyone else.
The more you prioritize your truth, the more magnetic and energized you become.

🗣️ Final Mojo Boost

The life you want — the one that feels free, aligned, and powerful —
only happens when you stop betraying yourself for the sake of being liked, safe, or accepted.

You don’t need to contort yourself to fit into rooms you were meant to elevate.

🔥 This week, I challenge you:
Say the thing. Wear the outfit. Speak the truth. Trust that the real you is the best thing you can bring to any space.

Because when you’re fully YOU?
That’s when the magic happens.

Hit reply and tell me — where are you done shrinking?

With love and wild freedom,
— Maria Lesetz
