233: There are No Shortcuts in Football with Bryson Barnes
Bryson Barnes grew up in a small town in Southern Utah called Milford and is the middle child of 5. Bryson grew up loving sports and played a couple competitively in high school which included football, wrestling, baseball, and track. Bryson has been playing quarterback at the University of Utah for 3 years, with his intro to college football staged at the Rose Bowl where he threw a 15 yard pass to tie the game against Ohio State with only a minute and a half left in the game. Bryson has an incredible story of going from a walk-on player to just being awarded a scholarship this month. Before his scholarship, he had picked up a part time job at Lowes just to cover his tuition, on top of his many obligations as a student athlete studying business at the University of Utah and starting quarterback for Utah's first two games of the season.

232: Unpacking Authenticity
Being "authentic" or "authenticity" can be frequently used (and sometimes even over-used) buzz words in our world currently. But I read something this week that made me totally re-think what authenticity actually means, which isn't just about trying to share unfiltered pictures or messy, imperfect moments of our lives. This definition goes deeper into self-acceptance and the way we act maybe even more importantly in our private lives and even the thought processes in our own minds and what it really takes to be able to sleep well at the end of the day knowing you stayed true to the person you are, completely and authentically.Time Stamps:[00:49] - What does it mean to be authentic?[05:57] - Corrine and Neil talk about letting go of expectations placed on yourself by you or others.[11:34] - How do you define the core of who you are?[15:16] - Feel all your feelings instead of trying to shove them away.[20:25] - Are you being honest with yourself?[24:32] - We’re all figuring life out.Supporting Resources:"Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are" Book by Brene' BrownSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
