Putting yourself out there and showing the world your\xa0real self can be intimidating. As human beings, we crave acceptance from our peers and always want to be seen in the best light. And in a\xa0world of where superficiality and always 'looking cool' is the norm, it takes a brave person to share who they truly are with others.
\xa0
And for Mark, it's not just a good idea; it's fundamental to our happiness and peace in the long run.

If you truly want to be appreciated\xa0and be at peace with yourself for who we truly are, and not for who others want or think us to be, you need to give others a chance at seeing the real you. And with a little practice, being the real you at all times can become the new status quo.

In Episode 211, Mark records a solo episode where he presents a compelling case for why we should remove our masks and let others see more of who we truly are, when it\u2019s a good time to be vulnerable, and why social media doesn\u2019t always (if rarely) reflect what\u2019s actually going on.\xa0 He also shares an exciting new project we're working on with the Are You Being Real Facebook page!\xa0 We hope you'll join us in highlighting the 'real' you come across.

Enjoy!!
