What's up, my friends?

Welcome back to another episode of the Mark Rose podcast.

You know, I really think that so much of transformation occurs when we hear other people's

stories.

And then we're like, oh, my God, I feel that way too. Or I've, I've experienced something similar. And when we hear other people's stories,

I mean, that's one of the ways that we learn the best is through narrative. It's because we also

hear a way out. We maybe see ourselves in the other person and their experiences and their

feelings and just being able

to witness someone put into words what we have not been able to do. And I think that's such an

art. And that's why sharing how we feel and what we've experienced in our lives is such a gift

to other people because it puts words to sensations and descriptions to moments that we may not have been able to

access ourselves. And all of a sudden, we are collecting this language to then begin to

describe our own experience. For me, this is very much why listening to podcasts or books or watching documentaries and even

movies, right? We're being informed by how language can describe what is so, honestly,

language does such a disservice to the human experience in a lot of ways because it can't

really express the complexity of what has occurred

in our lives. And I think about when I went through an experience of having some grief come up

and I couldn't put words to it and I had this realization that it was grief that came from when I was a

baby. And I remember the therapist slash shaman that I was talking to at the time said,

that's because it was pre-verbal, like you didn't have the words.

But it was interesting because I had the feeling.

I had the feeling and the feeling was so visceral.
