On this week’s episode, we shake things up by bringing four friends of mine into the studio as part of a new group format we are experimenting with here at Are You Being Real. This concept was conceived from the positive feedback we received on Episode 149 where I brought in 5 of my friends and just sat around and talked about life and what’s real for us.
This week's guests are:
Caitlin Turner: an empowering Instagram influencer (@gypsetgoddess).
Zach Puchtel: a musician and transformational author of the upcoming book "The American.
Amber Valdez: The "Life Purpose Cheerleader" coach and author of Stickie Affirmations.
Preston Smiles: a popular transformational YouTuber and founder of 'Man Cave,' an online brotherhood of conscious men.
They discuss what limiting beliefs are STILL holding them back even after doing their own personal development work for years. They all share honestly and openly except for one guest that gets called out while the microphones are still rolling (listen through to the end to see how this guest responds). It’s refreshing to see that even those you may admire and hold up with admiration and respect are also humans just trying to find their own truths.
