Hello, this is a bit of a different episode. My wife Alex and I sat down recently to talk about a shift

I've been through about three weeks ago, which is something definitely hard to put into words,

but which many traditions might call a spiritual awakening or Ken Show. I had this shift on a retreat,

which I will talk about in due course, and I've spoken about my own personal direct experience of what happened in depth on my YouTube channel.

So please do head over there to check out those videos if you want a bit more detail.

But in this episode, I'm talking

about the experience I've had in relationship to my wife and how she's felt too. Now, this

podcast has always explored themes like this. Of course, I've spoken to people like Rupert Spira

and Bernardo Castro and Donald Hoffman about the nature of self,

consciousness and flow, etc. But this was one of the first times I've spoken publicly about

what shifted in me personally and in particular in relationship to my wife and my family.

So rather than start with a monologue, which you can listen to on my YouTube, it felt right here on a new word being to begin with a conversation with my wife,

where of course it all played out.

So it's honest, it's a little bit messy at times, it's funny too, I hope,

and very real.

And I do hope it lands how it's meant to.

I hope you enjoy and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Three weeks ago, I had an awakening shift,

which has been profound for me,

but it's also impacted my wife.

And that's what we are going to talk about. Alex, how has it

been for you? Well, let's not sugarcoat it. At first, I was devastated. It was really weird.
