Welcome to Cosmic Clowns, a podcast about exploring consciousness, surviving chaos, and finding the comedy in it all. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the provocative question: Do you want to be right, or do you want to be free? We discuss how asking this question can dramatically change your attitude when you’re experiencing conflict with others, what role our need for perfectionism, control, and/or certitude plays in the need to be “right,” and the power of letting go of clinging and competition in favor of deeper curiosity and connection. Join us as we explore all the ways we limit liberation when we need the present moment to be anything other than, well, the present moment.
