Episode Summary:

In this episode of Do Hard Sh!t, we’re tackling a hard truth: just “being yourself” isn’t enough if you want to reach your full potential. While authenticity is crucial, it’s not an excuse to stay comfortable or avoid growth. I’ll unpack what true authenticity means and how you can use it as a foundation to level up in every area of your life. This is about owning your story, embracing your flaws, and stepping into the version of yourself that’s aligned with your goals.
