Becoming Who We Are

My friend and former Life Coach Preston Bryant joins me to get very vulnerable and honest about his life journey. Preston opens up about his former addictions and exile from his spiritual community. He shares how coming to Christ has helped heal him as well as diving into his creativity through making music. 

PHD student Sher sat down with me to talk about her journey of discovering she was Autistic and understanding how she experiences and makes sense of the world. We touched on many different subjects like humanism, AI, and the power of inner experience. We talked about how journaling has been so helpful for both of us. She explained her degree on transformative social change. Sher was such a delight. I really enjoyed this conversation!

Trace Bell joins me for a second time with his partner Tina Olson. We ended up talking a lot about relationships including: steelmanning and boundaries. We talked about the trends we're seeing in the collective and in our own lives. Some of those trends include not getting stuck in the ditches of seeing life as purely positive or negative. Another trend is recognizing the messiness of life and people (including ourselves).

Join Brandy and me for a Halloween special discussing ghosts, demons, and death. We share how our modern culture pushes the natural cycle of death to the margins and how Halloween can be an invitation to contemplate and prepare ourselves for the inevitability of death. We talk about how to view the afterlife and celebrate the holiday appropriately, and not simplify it in a dualistic good or bad category.
