Wow. This is without a doubt one of the most amazing conversations I have ever recorded on this podcast. 

This Thanksgiving day will mark the 4th year Amy has journeyed without the physical presence of her father in her life. She walks us through what she has learned in the face of death. This conversation is the most remarkable display of love. 

Death, my greatest teacher.. with Amy Douglas.

How can we strive to maintain out individuality in a world that rewards copycatting? 

Are we happier, and more successful long term when we allow ourself to be driven by values instead of the outcome? 

How can we avoid chasing success as a means to ice down our insecurity?

Experiencing my childhood religion… FOR THE FIRST TIME. 

Growing up religious, I learned that Jesus was the son of the one true God. He died for me, so I should live for him, following the rules in the Bible like a good person. All the answers of the world given to me at age 5.  

I lost this certainty as I got older, as many people do as their unique life experiences challenge the black and white world that they were taught with such assurance growing up. 

Over the years I have sunk further and further into the true certainty of not knowing, and the rich feelings of wonder that accompany that reality. I am not interested in what the TRUTH of the whole world is, but rather, spend my time finding what my truth in this life is. On occasion, that search has lead me to visit different religions for inspiration. 

I am always learning and growing, and I love to share my experiences, so when I revisited the story of Jesus for the first time in nearly 8 year I was shocked at what I felt in my heart. This story, for the first time touched a part of me that was selfless love. Unlike I had ever experienced. How interesting. 18 years as a Christian, and I never even got it.

I have struggled with sex addiction for 5 years. This insatiable desire for sexual activity I believe is a by product of the sexually repressive aspect of my adolescent years, due to my very traditional Christian upbringing which involves zero sexual gratification in any way shape or form, until married. 

Sex is forbidden, something you do in the dark and pay for with guilt. Not something you share with someone you love! 

THAT is what I am slowly overcoming. 

Disassociating my sexuality from the rest of my personality has had some harsh side effects in my life. Mainly, compulsive sexual practices, and the inability to feel comfortable incorporating sex into my adult romantic relationships. But, I feel like I am waking up into a new reality for myself in terms of sexuality.
