They delved into the book "Worthy" and couldn't help but notice its profound resonance with the themes they explore on The Banyan Effect. This book isn't just a personal favorite for them; it's captured the hearts and minds of readers worldwide, flying off shelves faster than they can say its title.

Drawing from their own experiences, they shared how this phenomenon often surfaces in the workplace, where they're encouraged to take personality assessments to understand their leadership style and strengths. But amidst these tests, Leslie found herself questioning: "am I presenting the work me or the home me?" It's a dilemma many face, navigating the fine line between authenticity and conformity.

Join them on this episode as they unpack the thought-provoking insights from "Worthy" and reflect on its implications for their journey towards self-discovery and healing.
