Summary

This moment isn’t an obstacle—however hard it is, this moment is always the path and the opportunity to come home to yourself. We are all spiritual beings in human being bodies. So who are you when the masks are dropped? Who are you underneath the roles, jobs, stories and busyness of life? Who are you when you really sit in the truth of your existence? If we just sit in this moment we can finally rejoin our inner stillness—the silence that contains all the answers, the truth, the essence of who we are. I recorded this as an invitation for you to stop running, to be still and rejoin your soul on this journey home.

Discover:

Why we shrink around our friends and family
What does your life stand for? Who do you want to be?
Why do we do the thing we don't want to do?
When it's hysterical it's historical
Why does rejection trigger us?
Why you should get curious every time you get triggered
When you become more connected to who you are, you experience deep reverence for yourself and other people
Why we need to get sober from distractions
Stillness is where you find yourself, silence is where you hear yourself

0:00.0	Hey yo, this week coming in hot with the solo episode having done one of those in a while.
0:15.0	And also a quick reminder before I get into it with myself, which sounds kind of dirty
0:20.6	but whatever, is can you go wherever you listen to this and leave a five star review and
0:26.1	written review. That would be so helpful to get this into more people's ears if you love
0:30.9	this episode, share it. If you have a previous episode that you love, share it. Tag me on Instagram.
0:36.4	I'll give you a reshare. Hook me up. Let's some love flow. And that's about all. Let's crush it.
0:43.9	Let's get into this. We've had some real magical podcasts in the last couple of weeks. One with
0:51.7	Terry Cole on codependency and high functioning codependence. Who that's a new term that'll blast you in the
0:58.9	brain. And then I also had one with my first ever quote unquote girlfriend from grade nine. And I'm
1:09.1	going to continue to do that is put out the request to past partners if they'd be so willing.
1:15.0	It would be an honor to have them on to continue to discuss like how have I been experienced by other
1:21.5	people and what is it like to see me today in the work that I do. I didn't feel like it was
1:30.6	generally fair that I have a microphone and they don't. And so it's felt very vulnerable and
1:37.0	scary to do which led me into doing it because I live by the rule that if it is scary but requires
1:44.5	my expansion. It's a yes. It has to be a yes. Because I never want to stop growing. You
1:50.5	stop growing. You're dying. You know, and stagnation to me is really a recipe for a lot of things.
2:00.9	One just that sense of self abandonment that I'm not investing in myself anymore. I'm not
2:07.3	leaning on the edge of my life. You know, we talk about relationships on here. And the standard
2:15.3	of relationship that we set for ourselves, the standard of behavior that we set for ourselves is
2:20.5	the imitation to the behaviors of other people to match us, to meet us. We're so used to shrinking
2:28.5	ourselves and making ourselves small in order for people to feel safe around us. When really we
