Perception vs. Reality: Tuesdays with CoCo

What if much of what we accept as “reality” is simply shadows on the wall? In this episode, author and speaker Cortney McDermott and Mathew explore Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, using it as a powerful metaphor for how our perceptions, conditioning, and learned helplessness can keep us stuck in limited narratives.

They share personal stories of breaking free from those chains, discuss the discomfort and courage required to step into the unknown, and offer guidance on questioning inherited beliefs.

The conversation offers practical strategies to help you renegotiate with life, awaken to new possibilities, and embrace the freedom that comes with self-discovery, even if the process feels lonely or uncertain. The episode concludes with a gentle meditation to support you in stepping into the sunlight of your own truth.
