"It’s the truth I’m after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.” 

– Marcus Aurelius

When something threatens that identity, we can easily get defensive. Our egos try to maintain these boundaries of who we think we are.

This week's episode is about one of the hardest things for us as human to receive - criticism.
