How often do you let the world see the real you? 

Let’s revist the very first episode of Humans Are Dope—the one where I wrestled with my own vulnerability and authenticity.

Together, we’ll dive into what it means to truly embrace who you are, even when society’s expectations or self-doubt make it feel impossible. I’ll share personal stories, insights from my journey as a therapist, and the profound realization that the path to self-compassion and growth starts with showing up as your imperfect, messy, wonderful self.

Whether you’re navigating life as a parent, professional, or just someone striving to be more “you,” my hope is that this episode will help you embrace the magic of your uniqueness.

Topics We Cover in This Episode: 

• Why vulnerability can be so hard to access
• How societal expectations push us to hide our true selves
• One simple practice to reconnect with your most authentic self
