We’ve mistaken platforms for purpose. We’ve idolized influence and sacrificed intimacy. And we’ve called it success when in reality, it’s just burnout in disguise. This week, Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Tauren Wells joins Win Today for a brutally honest conversation about the danger of exposure growing faster than character. Together, we explore how influence without intimacy leads to insecurity, how image management becomes spiritual performance, and why pathologizing our struggles has kept us from doing the real work of healing.
