Octopi and Humans


Listen Later

Have you seen the Netflix documentary, My Octopus Teacher? Lee and I recently watched it—and it blew us away. 

Why?

Because it puts this thing we call life into perspective. It shows you how to overcome trauma and pain without letting it consume you—and without forgetting the lessons that can help you avoid traumatic situations today. 

In this episode, you’ll discover how acting like an octopus may be the key to leaving your decades of trauma in the past for good. And how this helps you embrace the animalistic freedom we all secretly crave. 

Listen now.
