Summary

Byron Katie is known around the world as an author and a thought leader among thought leaders, a voice so clear and yet so intellectually complex that you might find yourself replaying this episode once or twice to grasp the beautiful concept of radical inquiry that she presents in her work. Calling her process “The Work,” she invites readers (and listeners!) to ask four questions of themselves in times of angst, challenge, or overthinking: Is it true? Can you absolutely know it's true? How do you react when you believe that thought? Who would you be without the thought? It seems simple enough. But, sit with even the first question, truly – and you'll realize we’re headed down a path of the divine, but unknown. Weaving metaphors and vivid imagery like an artist, Byron Katie takes K+L on a spiritual journey, starting with a morning walk, where the only thing bigger than the ideas are the questions. You’re invited to open your mind and let it all (nothing) wash over you. We also talk about: The importance and beauty of a morning walk Her spiritual awakening journey The 4 questions from Loving What Is How to become an observer of our thoughts How everyone in the world is our teacher Taking radical responsibility How to work on our stories related to body image, relationships, and fear How to deal with pain and suffering in the world aka how to approach reality Get discount codes sent directly to your phone.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to almost dirty. Hello everybody. It's Lindsay and Christa welcome to the show.
0:22.6	Shall we take a deep breath? Yes. I get nervous because we had a few episodes with six years
0:31.6	then you guys. One of the biggest in the biz. We have freaking audio issues on two episodes and
0:37.1	you can hear us breathing. Hey, I need to encourage people to breathe regardless. That's true. So let's do it.
0:42.9	One, two, three. Yeah, welcome in to almost 30. You don't need to be 30 or anywhere near it. It's
0:53.6	not about your age. We started this when we were transitioning from our 20s to our 30s and we really
0:58.6	wanted it to be a space of inquiry of curiosity, of fun, of laughter, of depth and openness. And we
1:07.8	wanted to provide a space where we can learn, where we could be ourselves and it is turned into a
1:12.4	community all over the world that supports people in their evolution. Yeah, it's been, it's
1:18.0	interesting to think of those early conversations and thinking about health and wellness. Just kind of
1:23.8	the most aesthetic and conversations when we were starting this podcast around transitioning from
1:30.9	your 20s to your 30s, but it has just become such a deep, ever unfolding process and experience. And
1:42.2	now we find ourselves kind of in this realm of the unseen and more in the spirituality lane. And so

1:55.4	didn't know we would be talking about. Byron Katie when we started this. She's like a true, like
2:00.0	when I think about spiritual gangster, like, hot the brand, I think of her, like a true
2:06.7	spiritual gangster where you're like, you're on to Mother Shit. Yes. I current, I totally like,
2:13.2	you're just like, you are on a course in miracles, text is just on some other shit. Yes,
2:18.0	where it's just beyond so far beyond duality and beyond the games and beyond the illusion and beyond
2:24.6	the dance and beyond it all. There they are. One of the reasons why I know that's true is because
2:31.6	there's a part of me that's like, but how can we do that? We live in a world that's like, yes,
2:37.2	how, how can we do that? How can we sit in inquiry? How can we, you know, minimize the ego? How,
