Has there ever been a single human being in all of history who never experienced a moment of self-doubt, self-recrimination, or self-loathing?

Starting from a teenage memory of a debate about "hot Jesus", Michael explores what it might mean to simply be more fully yourself, including the moments you're not proud of. This episode is warm, funny, and quietly profound.

In this episode:

The ancient parable of the 52nd problem
Why our moments of insecurity aren't problems to fix - they're just part of being genuinely and adorably human
What it might look like to stop accepting your flaws and start genuinely embracing them
What if being exactly as you are is the only thing required to wake up to your full potential?
