Welcome to the Lifelong Learners Series (LLS) The conversations in this series discuss all aspects of what it means to learn, how we’ve been taught to learn, and how we are learning to shape our lives the way we want to. Today’s guest is Tesoro. Tesoro (she/they) is a 27 year old creative bean residing in the Pacific Northwest. They are a neurodivergent lifelong learner who is challenging social norms by reclaiming their creativity through flow arts, music, tarot, and astrology. They value authenticity, empathy, vulnerability, and unconditional love. Join their journey @treasurethetrooper on TikTok and Instagram. AS ALWAYS you can find me on TikTok and IG @wesonly1

Emotional awareness. How do we make plans? What process of organization works for us? How can we best set ourselves up for success? What is our personal version of success? What would we do if we had no obligations to other people? These questions and more other stuff too on today’s episode :) AS ALWAYS find me online at @wesonly1

Today I recite a letter I wrote to my future self. I want to build a relationship with myself that spans time. I also want to record my experiences so I can have the memories frozen in time. Writing this letter to my future self was empowering. I am in control of my life and I am the only one who gets to decide where I go next.

What if I could tell myself exactly what I needed to hear? Obviously I think I would do it. I would say the things. Hmmm, I wonder what they are. AS ALWAYS find me on Twitter/Instagram/Tiktok/Venmo/Ca$happ: wesonly1

Today’s episode is all about awareness and emotions. Throughout my life, I’ve often seen my emotions as a kind of puzzle for me to attach words to and figure out. I’m now learning to observe my emotions more and not feel obligated to explain them or judge them all the time. I grew up hearing and receiving ideas about what life is “supposed to” be. And as I learn to listen to myself and trust my intuition, I am learning that the type of knowledge I like to learn is about how to create a life the resonates with ME. I can speak ad nauseam about all the ways I no longer want to live that I once did. But we are out here to manifest what we DO WANT, not what we don’t want. Shout out to you who are reading this I don’t even know how related it is to the episode. but, enjoy. As always catch me on twitter/instagram/tiktok/venmo/cashapp: @wesonly1

Today’s episode is about my growth and development as a sexual being. Throughout my life I have experienced many forms of sexual shame, pleasure, uncomfortability, uncertainty, and expectations. The ways I have approached sex and relationships have been informed by these experiences, and I am now starting to unpack these experiences and identify how they have shaped my understanding of myself. I know that there is no definite label to describe the many ways we interact with each other, but as I strip away labels that no longer suite me, I gain clarity in how I plan to live authentically moving forward. Thank you so much for listening. SEXUALITY AFFIRMATIONS @ (33:33) As always, find me @wesonly1 on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Venmo, and Ca$happ

Being aware of what you do and how you think is a lot harder than it seems. Today, I talk about how questioning some of the foundational assumptions that I used to live my life based on, has led me to a deeper understanding of who I truly am and what I want and need to thrive and be happy in this world. Also, I want to sincerely thank you for listening and trusting my voice to be with your ears for a little while today. I would love for this podcast to lead to conversation and connection amongst fellow kindrid souls. I am on a journey of self-discovery and self-mastery, which is now how I basically plan to live my entire life, and I’m excited to share my experiences and thoughts about what I am observing as I unlearn the conditioning and programming of our culture and discover the true power of human ingenuity, passion, connection, and creativity.

2021* This week we talk about 2021 so far, my road trip and it’s Genesis, the ways I think too much and, oh yeah and I only mentioned the first of the Four Agreements: 1. Be impeccable with your word. 2. Don’t take anything personally. 3. Don’t make assumptions. 4. Always do your best. I’m super excited to be putting out the podcast each week moving forward and I would love to hear some feedback and to have some new guests on too!
