What You’ll Hear on the Show
What You’ll Learn About Authenticity and Mental Strength
It’s easy to lose sight of values in life. Perhaps you’ve had times when your priorities have gotten out of line.
Sometimes, it’s tough to even know what you value. But understanding who you are and living according to your values is key to living an authentic life.
When you’re authentic, you can put your energy into being the best version of yourself, rather than wasting energy trying to portray someone you’re not. Mental strength and authenticity are a two-way street. It takes mental strength to be authentic and it takes authenticy to be mentally strong. But you can work on both at the same time.
