About this episode
How often have you heard the advise: "just be you", or some variation it? "Just do you", "to thyself be true", etc. It's actually great advice! We absolutely SHOULD be true to ourselves, but there's a problem... it isn't always easy.Sometimes it is. That is, when society's expectations align with you being you.

Should we stay true to ourselves, or should we conform to the group? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
