In this episode, we're sharing our biggest (and sometimes most painful) lessons we've learned by living authentically, our advice for anyone who's in a difficult season, and an update on our thoughts around marriage.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• It's almost a guarantee that if you step into the most authentic version of yourself, you will disappoint someone. You are not less brave for being cautious before taking the leap, but commit to taking even the smallest baby steps until you reach your highest self.

• At the end of the day, the status quo is completely made up. You get to create your own standards for your life, and when life throws you curveballs that challenge those ideas, embrace them in the way that feels most authentic to you.

• Our lives are a masterclass in "the status quo is for losers." Sometimes when we've challenged the status quo and had the courage to step fully into ourselves, it has made people uncomfortable, but we never let that hold us back.
