  • #57: 🎨 The World Needs More “Weird” People
    May 21 2025

    In a world addicted to sameness, your weirdness isn’t a liability—it’s your leverage.

    We’ve all felt that pressure to fit in. To tone it down. To “act normal.” But in this episode of Hard Truths, we flip the script—and celebrate the power of standing out.

    Being a little “weird” isn’t just okay—it’s your edge. Your creativity. Your source of real connection.

    🎯 In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why society trains us to suppress our quirks—and what it costs us

    • How hiding your weirdness blocks creativity, relationships, and fulfillment

    • Research from Brené Brown, Stanford, and neuroscience on originality and belonging

    • Why icons like Lady Gaga, Tesla, and Dalí weren’t admired in spite of their weirdness—but because of it

    • Four grounded ways to lean into your uniqueness and use it as your superpower

    This isn’t about being random for the sake of it. It’s about being real.

    The world doesn’t need more carbon copies. It needs more courageous originals—people who are willing to own the very things that once made them feel different.

    So if you’ve been shrinking, performing, or hiding the parts of you that feel “too much”… this episode will set you free.

  • #56: 🧠 The Power of Saying "I Don't Know"
    May 20 2025

    We live in a world obsessed with having the answer. Saying “I don’t know” feels risky—like weakness, like failure, like you’re falling behind.

    But what if that’s all wrong?

    In this episode of Hard Truths, we flip the script on certainty. We dive deep into the pressure to perform knowledge, the psychology behind false confidence, and why saying “I don’t know” might be the most powerful thing you can say.

    🎯 Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why pretending to know actually shuts down your growth

    • The science of intellectual humility and emotional trust

    • How to reframe “I don’t know” as strength, not shame

    • What Socrates, the Dunning-Kruger effect, and real-life experience all reveal about confidence

    • Four ways to start embracing your unknowns—and change your relationships, mindset, and growth forever

    This isn’t just about honesty—it’s about freedom. Freedom from the pressure to perform. Freedom to grow in public. Freedom to say: “I don’t know” and let that be enough.

    If you’re tired of faking it, if you’re craving clarity, if you’re ready to learn out loud—this one’s for you.
