Summary
We're on our annual summer break from the podcast, and during the break we love to re-air favorite past episodes. Today we're sharing Dr. Kim's conversation with former NFL linebacker Sam Acho, a speaker, podcaster, and humanitarian. They had an honest and encouraging conversation about what holds us back from being authentic and how to break through fears and be more real.
We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.
Episode highlights include:
-
The breakthrough that first helped Sam to stop hiding & pretending he was ok
-
Why the closest relationships can also be the places we feel the most insecure
-
Why the small steps we take to be real are actually big!
-
Steps to take when you feel you're not living in authenticity
