Anne-Laure Le Cunff explores why “trying” is undervalued, how redefining success means letting go of other people’s blueprints, and why feeling lost can be a gateway to freedom. She shares her philosophy of “tiny experiments” as a tool for navigating uncertainty, breaking free from toxic productivity, and uncovering what truly matters. From unlearning the pursuit of purpose to cultivating self-complexity, this conversation reframes growth as curiosity-driven, messy, and deeply human.

Dr. Dan Siegel breaks down the illusion of the solo self and explores how redefining identity as both individual and relational—what he calls a "MWe"—can unlock fulfillment, belonging, and connection. From the science behind selfhood to powerful personal stories of loss, healing, and awareness, this conversation reveals how our language, culture, and perception shape who we are and how we can expand beyond those limits into a more compassionate, integrated way of being.

Dr. Ronald Epstein shares how decades in medicine and mindfulness taught him that self-awareness is the foundation of healing—not just for doctors, but for patients, too. He explores why detachment is often mistaken for professionalism, how curiosity fuels care, and how moments of presence—even during medical crises—can restore humanity. Along the way, he reflects on medicine’s discomfort with the word suffering, and how naming it can be the first step toward real healing. From the limits of cure to the reach of healing, and from meditative breath to medical crisis, this conversation examines the soul of medicine and the path to becoming a truly mindful physician—one who listens more deeply, connects more fully, and ultimately cares more humanely.

Gary John Bishop breaks down why transformation isn’t found in insight—it’s forged in action. We talk about the real purpose of self-work, how language shapes your reality, the philosophy behind “Unfu*k Yourself,” and why your life isn’t random—it’s the perfect outcome of your subconscious programming. He explains why everything starts to shift when you return to nothing and how to disrupt the loop you didn’t even know you were stuck in. No fluff, no filter—just the work.
