Summary

In this episode, I explore self-trust in relation to obligation and desire through a conversation with a caller grappling with familial expectations and career choices. Together, we examine the role of personal agency, the interplay of discipline and pleasure, and the impact of upbringing on decision-making. We also discuss the dynamics of respect in relationships, highlighting how self-perception influences interactions. This episode encourages listeners to redefine their connections with desire and obligation, advocating for a more authentic and fulfilling life.
