Breaking Free from Labels & Rediscovering Identity | WNE 74 "WHO ARE YOU"


Listen Later

On this episode of the We’re Not Experts Podcast, hosts TZ Reacts and Mac welcome you back with a candid and thought-provoking conversation inspired by their Sunday church messaging: Who are you? They dive into how we often define ourselves by external labels—like 'father' or 'police officer'—and explore the deeper Christian belief of being created in the image of God.

As they riff through topics like patience wearing thinner with age, labeling ourselves versus embracing God’s view, marital communication, and the frustration when people “should just know” what you mean, their humor and honesty shine through. They also unpack how social expectations, especially around connecting and being “valid,” can lead to misunderstandings or self-doubt.

Introspective, relatable, and unapologetically real—this episode reminds us that as humans, we’re all figuring it out, and sometimes the best answer to ‘Who are you?’ is simply ‘I’m figuring it out too.’
