Are you being real about how you celebrate your birthday?

\\xa0

It seems that everyone has a different relationship with their special day.\\xa0 Some people make it a point to let everyone know it\'s coming up and that they\'re invited to join the celebration. Others are dead set on keeping it a secret from the world. Wherever you fall on that spectrum, it tells a lot about you (or in this case \'TEL\'s, tune in to see what we mean)!

In this Episode 207 of Are You Being Real, Mark goes deep into birthdays and why they matter.\\xa0 He talks about what inspired him to send out birthday videos to all of his friends, what it\'s like to be on the receiving end of videos, what his relationship to his own birthday is like, and he shares important tips to help us avoid the \'birthday blues\' and how we can acknowledge and celebrate others even when it\'s not their birthday.
