How To Live A More Authentic Life | TCM #126 (Part 1)

A lot of people have realized lately how costly living an inauthentic life can be. In the past few years, the plandemic and the chaos happening in the world have put people into situations where they either had to speak an unpopular opinion, stay silent, or go along with a crowd that seemed to be walking off a cliff. Many people have also discovered the pain that can sometimes accompany authenticity and have realized that authenticity can cost you certain relationships. We often think that being will be a solely liberating process. Still, we can also discover in the process of sharing who we are that, in Gabor Mates' words, "there is no painless authenticity." One of the main questions people have asked us is - how can I speak up more and be truthful during these times? In this podcast, we will answer this conundrum and offer several angles about why you aren't authentic and how to live a more authentic life.
