Freddie is a musician, writer, and performer. He is a very very very deep thinker. He seems to take his time assembling his opinions when exploring his thoughts and ideas. He does not assume to know anything, and part of the enjoyment of speaking with him was the overwhelming feeling that we were discovering things together. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Freddy a bit over the past year. Inquisitive and somewhat reserved he allowed me to poke around at his journey through mental and emotional change processes he’s participated in.

In this episode Freddie and I discuss the often overlooked importance of applying purpose to our self care regimen. We talk about being part of a group of creative collaborators, how a group endeavor provides a level of safety and anonymity, and how these things can be appropriate emotional coping mechanisms. We look at how to perform for others while overcoming defective ego and self. And we touch on how faith in something greater than ourselves can provide us with much needed equanimity.
