Deep Dive

Christophe was reduced to ashes twice. And twice he has risen. In this passionate and deeply personal talk we discussed overcoming adversity and flourishing, never forgetting that we may have to go through the same thing again in the future.

This episode is dedicated to everyone who has had to rise from the ashes. Never give up on the chance to live well.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", they say, and, as Rebecca would add, a belief in the possibility of completing the journey. In this conversation we explored each other's journeys and some notable stations along the way. These included depression, relationships, money, emotional regulation, and more. We also imagined ourselves walking over different terrains and seeing how it made us feel. Lastly, we touched on reaching old age, and thought about what's possible for us as a culture in that domain.Follow Rebecca on Twitter: @RebeccaMadison_ | Blog: Rebeccamadison.substack.comFollow me on Twitter: @Deep_Dive_Pod | @EyalShay2

This deeper-than-usual dive opened with Maja reciting the poem that gave this episode its title. We discussed and questioned each other about love, creation, creativity, healing, and harmony.

Toward the end Maja shared an original framework that can applied in everyday life to get unstuck from consciousness. Tune in, and may you take away what you need.
