Summary

In this episode, Amanda Crew shares her personal journey of going through the "Dark Night of the Soul" and how it has impacted her perspective on life. Amanda Crew is an actress, best known for her role as Monica Hall on the HBO comedy series, Silicon Valley. She has also appeared in films such as The Haunting in Connecticut, The Age of Adaline, and Charlie St. Cloud.

The "Dark Night of the Soul" is a term used to describe a period of intense difficulty or despair and often kicks off a deep journey of self-discovery. Amanda shared how she went through this experience and how it ultimately helped her to grow and discover new parts of herself. The conversation also touched on the importance of cultivating fulfillment and joy in life, even during difficult times. She talked about the importance of understanding and owning all parts of our lives, both the highs and the lows, and how these experiences shape who we are. Amanda and I also discussed the concept of fulfillment and how it should be the ultimate goal rather than just success.

Highlights from the conversation:

The importance of connecting with one's true self
The concept of the "second mountain"
Building the skill of joyfulness and finding joy in low moments
Amanda's passion for destigmatizing and raising awareness about eating disorders
The role of photography in Amanda's life and how it has evolved over time
And so much more

Enjoy!
