Welcome to Align, helping you live your best life by being aligned with your true self, others and your desired outcomes.

Align keeps it real, raw and honest. Nothing is off limits on this podcast – contrarian, novel and edgy ideas are all welcome. The only rule is to be authentically you. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jessica-li78/support

Has society properly defined courageous men? We have trained boys at a young age to reject negative emotions. How many times have they been told not to cry and "handle it like a man"? The only acceptable negative emotion, even through adulthood, is anger. Powerful feelings such as sadness, fear and shame are pushed under the rug, only to resurface stronger and be projected on innocent people at inappropriate times.
