Your awareness will either make you change or block you from making changes. Some of us deflect that awareness by making a joke. In this episode, Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about a behavior everyone knows too well — making jokes to cover up something that hurts us. Remember that if you keep protecting yourself when times get tough or when you’re in pain, you are not creating the necessity to figure out what’s wrong and make changes.
