Grow Further is celebrating episode 5-0, and we’re bringing our authentic selves and hope you will, too! In this longer-than-normal episode, Ellie and Chris discuss the wisdom of Brené Brown, unpacking the idea that true belonging means embracing your authentic self, not just fitting in.

Also in this episode:

• The struggle to fit in, in the age of social media
• Personal stories of navigating identity and authenticity in personal and professional settings

Also in this episode:

• Where did “practice make perfect” come from
• How practicing habits can lead to lasting changes in your life
