Authenticity – Can You Be Too Authentic? & How Much is Too Much?
04/09/24 • 47 min
Can you be too authentic? If so, how much is too much?
TMI, aka “too much information,” is when those around you feel you’re a little too real. You’re a little too open. You’re a little too authentic.
In a time where our culture encourages more and more authenticity in every sphere we walk, we’re seeing tension at best and backlash at worst for those who are being authentic but not being received well by those around them.
Is it a case of insensitivity from an immature group that demands similarity? Or is it the case of TMI from the one who demands their authenticity?
In this episode, we aim to answer those questions. We want to keep it authentic and real. So join us for this honest reveal.

We are the World: Tips for Making a Difference in Your World today!
Our world is indeed grappling with immense suffering today. It feels like everywhere we look, there’s someone experiencing pain, heartache, and loss. Whether it’s on TV, social media, in our schools, or on our streets, the weight of these struggles is palpable. There’s a new epidemic, not of the lungs, but of our lives and hearts—our collective empathy and compassion seem to be infected.
Many of us yearn for change, hoping that someone—politicians, professional athletes, or influential figures—will step up and make a difference. When they don’t, frustration sets in. But what if our focus is misdirected? What if the power to create change lies within each of us? Perhaps we are the ones we’ve been waiting for—the ones who can make a difference, even when we’ve been hurt and feel powerless. Remember "We Are the World"—we are the children as the classic song goes.
In this podcast, we’ll explore simple ways to make a positive impact, even when pain and sadness threaten to paralyze us. Let’s discover how we can contribute, regardless of the circumstances, and be the change we wish to see in the world.

Time is All a Child Hears: How to Make Your Time Count with Your Child
Our children are facing unprecedented challenges, and they need our support more than ever. As the U.S. Surgeon General aptly stated, these difficulties are uniquely complex and difficult to navigate. Despite our best intentions, many of us find ourselves unsure of how to help. There’s no simple solution, and the path forward is far from straightforward. But one thing is clear: it will require time and intentional effort to truly understand and connect with our children.
The Surgeon General reminds us that there’s no map for this journey. The road is winding, filled with unexpected twists and turns. As parents, educators, and caregivers, we grapple with questions: How do we bridge the gap? How do we guide our children through this intricate landscape? The answer lies in recognizing the value of time—the precious moments we spend getting to know our children.
Time is more than minutes ticking away on a clock. It’s an investment—an opportunity to build trust, understanding, and connection. When we truly know our children—their dreams, fears, and aspirations—we can better support them. But if we overlook the significance of time, the crisis will persist.
Join us on this podcast as we explore how to use this time effectively, so our children can truly hear us and find their way in this complex world.
