As a person that certainly “looks” non-binary, I get asked a lot about binary vs non-binary — I had a great time making this episode because it’s a concept I enjoy greatly. As an avid student of Yoga and Taoism, I’m so intrigued by how we can resolve the fighting of opposites by surrendering to the wholeness that arises when we have opposites to begin with!

Both honoring binary and non-binary aspects of life give us a deep sense of peace. Listen to this episode to get some real-life practices as to how to remove yourself from the pull of one opposite over another. I’ll give you a hint: it’s a freakin’ paradox.

Consider that any profound, meaningful, and useful tools (like boundaries and structures, like boundlessness and possibility) can actually be used harmfully when the person using them is ignorant of their part in the play of the big picture. And this is why humbly studying these concepts and tools from a place of curiosity can alleviate us humans from the suffering of righteousness.

Practice the paradox of binary & non-binary without judging yourself or others. You are not your identities. You are the being that gets to choose how and why to identify in any particular way. Reside in that and know.
