ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Are you living according to your real values—or performing the version of yourself you think other people will approve of?
In this episode, Josh explores authenticity, integrity, and the exhausting pressure of wearing a mask. Through personal reflections, practical steps, scripture, the example of Elder Neal A. Maxwell, and lessons from The Legend of Bagger Vance, he explains why each of us has a unique “authentic swing” that can become buried beneath fear, expectations, perfectionism, and the need to fit in.
You were not created to live someone else’s life. As you become more honest about your strengths, weaknesses, values, and purpose, you can stop performing for approval and begin living the life that is genuinely yours.
