Marlowe Lenard welcomes her grandparents, Nanny and Pappy, to discuss authenticity and what it means to be self-aware. At 100 and 95 years old, respectively, this episode of Authentic is a thought-provoking conversation about the necessity of prioritizing oneself to create a fulfilling life. They emphasize that happiness comes from within and the value of giving yourself what you seek in the external world. Happiness starts at home and YOU are home.

The discussion also touches on the significance of continuous learning and self-awareness, highlighting how our brains absorb information that shapes our understanding of authenticity. Join us for an insightful dialogue encouraging listeners to embrace their authentic selves and take charge of their happiness.

Marlowe Lenard, her Nanny, and Pappy reflect on the notion that happiness cannot be handed to someone by external sources. Instead, it is a state of being that must be cultivated through self-acceptance and self-care. The conversation encourages listeners to embrace their individuality and pursue what genuinely brings them joy rather than conforming to societal pressures or expectations.

“You have to be careful about the friends you choose, things you read, things you listen to from all your senses," explains Nanny. This advice points to the idea that the influences we allow into our lives can significantly impact our sense of authenticity. By being selective about the information and relationships we engage with, we can create an environment that supports our authentic selves.

Moreover, the speakers discuss the ongoing journey of self-improvement and learning. They emphasize that authenticity is not a destination but a continuous process of growth and self-discovery. The idea that "you never stop learning" reinforces the notion that individuals should remain open to new experiences and perspectives, which can further enhance their understanding of themselves and their authentic desires.
