Habits And Hustle

Do you ever wonder why society hates people who live authentically? In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with ALOK about their observations on what happens to us when we aren’t living authentically, what happens when we finally start living authentically, and what kind of reactions we may provoke from society…and why those reactions are okay!  ALOK also shares their personal experience on how they had internalized feelings of hate towards themselves, how it almost drove them to suicide, and how they were able to come out on the other side. ALOK (they/them) is an internationally acclaimed author, poet, comedian, and public speaker. As a mixed-media artists, their work explores themes of trauma, belonging, and the human condition.
