Hello and welcome to the Self Healer Soundboard, how to do the work Master Class. Last episode,

we explored the role our emotions play in creating our experiences, highlighting the reality

that many of us, even as adults, exhibit very little emotional maturity. This inability

to regulate our emotions results in a feeling of disconnection from the world around us,

leaving us to feel alone, unsupported, and unable to truly express ourselves. This episode,

Jenna and I will dive in to chapter 13 of How to do the Work, Interdependence.

Hello everyone and thank you again for joining us for our last Master Class episode.

Today, as Nicole mentioned, we are discussing and diving into chapter 13, Interdependence,

which happens to be the last chapter of the book. So what you're joining us for today is

the last episode of this 14-part series where we deep dive into each chapter of the book.

So thank you for being on the journey with us thus far in the Master Class. If this is

the first time you're joining us, please go back and check out all of the previous chapters

and use it as a support and tool on your journey to really bring the book How to do the

Work into your own life. So this final chapter, we highlight the power of community. All

of the work in the book really is setting us up the foundation so that we can be a member

of a community because at our core, humans are social creatures. Our brains and our bodies

are built for connection. From the moment of infancy, we need other humans, whether it's

when we're a child to actually help care for our physical bodies, or as we evolve into

adulthood for division of labor, for support, we all need to find a group. In a way, we

are all collectivist and we benefit from being part of something larger than us. All of

the work on this journey, all of the work of holistic healing is really setting us up

to be an authentic, fully expressed human that's able to function also as part of a group.
