In this episode, Katja and Asmae dive into the cultural obsession with performance — how it shapes our bodies, our relationships, our healing practices, even our sense of belonging.

They explore what happens when “improvement” becomes a reflex, a hunger without root in Deep Self — and what it takes to return to a deeper existential knowing: I am able and want be Here.

They touch on existential repair, mythic hunger, and the subtle dance between responsibility and victimhood, rest and drive, will and surrender. They question the binary logics of modern healing and explore what it means to live in right relationship with the Breath of Life itself.

Themes of this episode:

• The mythic hunger beneath addiction, obsession, and self-optimization
• Why “listening to your body” can become a trap without rooted practice
• The difference between freeze, indulgence, and right rest
• Gender and belonging beyond the binary and the performative
• The self as geometry, pattern, and story — a living dialogue with the Tide
• Reclaiming weirdness and living as mythic beings in a too-small linear world

This conversation is part philosophy, part somatic reflection, part mythic riff.
For those who feel too much, think too much, or are simply tired of performing life instead of living it.
