Summary

Just be yourself. Easier said than done in this mixed up and sometimes crazy world. Gender roles, stereotypes, expectations and culture all shape how we see ourselves. The search for your authentic self can help improve your relationship in ways you never thought imaginable. Listen to today's episode and learn! In this episode we discuss relationship advice topics that include: Understanding how gender roles and stereotypes can shape how we perceive ourselves and negatively affect relationships. Tools to explore 'inner space' and work toward the most authentic version of yourself. Pushing yourself to go outside your comfort zones to explore your identity. How to talk to your partner about authenticity in each other and the relationship. Asking yourself, "what parts of myself am I too shy to share?", and how this exercise can lead to relationship breakthroughs. How the LGBT community is leading the way in authenticity and acceptance and what heterosexual's can learn from them. And much more!
