In this episode of B4U Swipe, Dr Lauren and Dr. Kris continue discussing the nine principles of relationship anarchy. 

Principle 3: Imagine it and Practice, Practice, Practice (originally “Fake it til’ you make it”)

Episode Highlights include: 

Our arguments against “faking it til you make it;” the magic of support in a Karaoke family; caterpillars and phoenixes; how resisting norms is slow and hard; making space to reflect, imagine, and stay over your center; and the importance of support, including your own self-compassion. Shout outs to Alok Vaid-Menon and adrienne maree brown’s wisdom. 

Overall, while we aren’t fans of the title, we think this principle provides a gentle invitation to think about how you will bring your values to life across your relationships. 

Don’t mind our arrogance at changing the title of the principle. Hope you like the rewrite as much as we do!
