In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the importance of understanding our 'crutches' and their effects on our lives. They discuss how a crutch like social media filters can create a false sense of security, and provide other examples of crutches. They discuss that it is difficult to do at first, but confronting uncomfortable truths motivate you to identify and break free from your crutches.
