The Gently Used Human with Dr. Scott Lyons

Existential Streaking with Sara Kuburic


Listen Later

What if you were to play a game of hide-and-seek with yourself or pin the tail on the authentic you? What if, in the adventure of discovering who you are, you must get completely lost in the process? All the while dancing with the inevitable existential truths of death, isolation, and meaninglessness- while just trying to get to work on time!

Today's guest is Dr. Sara Kuburic, also known as The Millennial Therapist, an existential psychotherapist whose life narrative is as compelling and intricate as the topics she explores. Dr. Sara brings to the table not just her extensive professional expertise, including her new book, "It's on Me: Accept Hard Truths, Discover Your Self, and Change Your Life," but also a rich tapestry of personal experiences. Having lived through wars and navigated complex relationships, she offers a unique perspective on the existential threads that weave through our lives.

In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr. Scott and Dr. Sara delve into the tension between living life authentically and merely performing it. They discuss the balancing act of taking responsibility while finding freedom and examine the interplay of truth, resistance, and the enigma of self-discovery. This episode invites listeners to reflect on authenticity: What does it truly mean? Whose authenticity are we considering? Is it a process of peeling back layers of self-preservation, or is it an unrestrained, bold revelation through the streets of existence?

If you've ever pondered the nature of authenticity and how to embrace it, this episode promises to offer insightful perspectives and guide you on your path to self-understanding.

Topics We Break Down:

  • The cost of working against yourself. 
  • What authenticity is not. 
  • Grasping the suffering that accompanies being human.
  • People’s difficult relationship with the truth. 
  • Why safety is required for truth and turning inward.
