Rebuilding Your Identity : Moving Beyond Performance and Validation with Michael Jaquith
Have you ever struggled with feeling like you're falling short in being a man, so you then dream of rebuilding your identity? You've been told to always have it together and never show vulnerability, but that only makes you feel empty and disconnected. With guest Michael Jaquith, we’ll chat about moving beyond performance and validation, the pain of unattainable expectations and navigating emotional resilience with authenticity.
