What are the various forms of self-expression? Are they the things that make us feel complete? Is it having the freedom to be? Do we have true joy and vitality if we’re not fully self-expressed? How do we know if we’re not living a life of full self-expression? What are the ramifications of that? Can someone be introverted and self-expressed at the same time? Are we playing life too safe when we’re not allowing ourselves to be fully self-expressed?

The conversation continues with self-expression. Special guest, Jessica Stone shares her own personal journey discovering her authentic self and writing her first self-published memoir entitled "Craving London: Confessions of An Incurable Romantic with an Insatiable Appetite". Jessica Stone has spent a hearty chunk of her time plotting what to eat next and pondering the mysteries of love, both of which come together in a lot of what she writes. Jessica grew up in a Cuban American family in Miami and studied journalism at New York University before moving to London in 2004, where she trained in patisserie at Le Cordon Bleu and wrote a blog that became the basis for "Craving London". “ Craving London” will be released on August 25th, 2020. Available for download on iTunes! #cylopodcast @cylopodcast

For some of us, the world we’re living, and the pandemic is creating a sense of loss with ourselves. We feel like we’ve lost touch with who we are and not sure how to get back.

What is the impact on us with social distancing and face shielding with masks? How are these new norms affecting young children? Are people losing a sense of connection with each other? How can we overcome these social breakdowns?

Reflecting on how we've changed over the past few months. What the positive and negative behaviors we've noticed about ourselves. Are we more self-aware? More in our own bubble? Are we more patient or less patient? Are we more comfortable in our own skin now that we've spent so much time alone?
