The Art of Masculinity

345. Adaptation vs. Authenticity

Feb 28, 2023

There is a trendy idea that we wear these “masks” to fit in, be seen a certain way, and feel accepted and loved. It’s an easy visualization but one that can oversimplify what’s really happening. In reality, there is a vision we all hold of the person we want to be and sometimes we need to adapt ourselves in different scenarios to cast that vision onto others. From that lens, we have an opportunity to asses if that is valuable to us, or if we’d rather show up exactly as we are. This episode breaks down the different situations where that adaptability response shows up and the options that we have for moving forward.


Today on The Art of Masculinity:

  • Being an ambassador of inauthenticity
  • Understanding our adaptability response
  • Upholding the societal expectation of a man
  • Redefining the idea of “wearing an identity mask”
  • Self-assessing integrity and owning who you are
