September 20, 2023
In a world that often encourages us to wear masks, authenticity simply means living by your core values. It’s about boldly being yourself, shedding the years spent behind social facades, and embracing the courage to be truly genuine.
Today, we’re revisiting a past favorite episode as we dive into part two of our conversation with Parker Palmer. Parker, a renowned writer, speaker, and founder of the Center for Courage & Renewal, takes us on a journey of self-discovery.
In this encore presentation, Parker reminds us that embracing our humanity doesn’t require perfection—it asks for the courage to embrace our imperfections as integral parts of who we are. I hope this conversation will inspire you to live in alignment with your values and show up in the world as your authentic self.

- The art of asking sincere questions vs. offering concealed advice
- What it really means to show up authentically in one’s own truth
- The importance of breaking the silence around depression and mental health
