Your mind is a powerful tool that you can use to create a life that you love. Your mindset is your overall outlook on life and it will determine whether you remain stuck spinning your wheels or moving towards your goals and dreams.

What type of mindset were you raised with (growth of fixed)? And what mindset do you have today?How do you cultivate more of a growth mindset for yourself? What did you have to transform to become a more growth mindset-oriented?What is your internal dialogue in a fixed mindset say to you vs. when you’re in a growth mindset?What has helped you on your growth journey that may help our listeners?



By the end of this episode, you’ll feel motivated and inspired to leave behind the fixed mindset and shift into a growth mindset.

Healing with Plant Medicine (Psychedelics)

In this episode of Gay Men Going Deeper, we delve into the complexities of authenticity in the digital age. From Instagram to OnlyFans, we are living in an increasingly performative world where authenticity seems harder to discern. 



Today we are going deeper behind the blurred lines between being fake and putting your best self forward. We’ll be discussing the nuances of genuine self-expression versus performative behavior with personal examples and anecdotes to illustrate. 



Some of the topics we’ll be discussing are: 




Why insincerity thrives in social media 



How do you define authenticity? 



The pressures to “keep up” with other gay men 



The tendency to compete and compare  



Is curating your social media still considered authentic?



The fine line between being authentic and performative 



Ascertaining authenticity in the age of filters and algorithms 




Tune in to gain valuable perspectives on social media, insincerity, and the pursuit of authenticity in the digital age.
