What happens when two people drop ALL the masks and talk for 2.5 hours straight, uncut? Elle starts crying, Cam gets called out for "performing," and we explore why we've been terrified to show up exactly as we are - no makeup, straight out of bed, pajamas and all.
This isn't polished content. It's us finally breaking through our biggest barrier: the need to look perfect before we share our truth. We dive deep into sharing from "the wound" versus "the scar" and why most people (including us) wait until everything is pretty before getting vulnerable.
If you've ever struggled with authenticity - whether on camera or in life - this marathon conversation might change how you show up in the world.
Reminder: We lead monthly meetings about all these topics, useful tools and resources to integrate, and MORE in our communities for men and women. If you could use a lifeline to hope and good relationship advice in your life, join us below or tell a friend!
