The Chrysalis Train

In todays stop on the journey, we continue navigating Pride. In this episode I go deep with telling my story and how what I’ve gone through and what I’ve personally had to fight through impacted me and how I am now, and how it impacted my relationship with myself as an openly gay man.

In todays stop, I sit with my friend Raymond and we have an open discussion all about the expectations that impact the gay community, and how it affects the way gays interact with themselves and each other.

On this stop of our journey, let’s meet Austin! We talk about awareness vs absorption, logic vs emotion, experimenting, and how social media impacts perceptions of self awareness, mindfulness, and spirituality.

On today’s stop, we pass through Ego Country. Here, we’ll take a look at what constitutes a strong ego, a weak ego, and the balance between the two that we may have.

On this stop of our journey, let’s meet Emily Berry! One of the kindest humans I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and a huge inspiration for my own self awareness journey. We’ll discuss mindfulness, understanding ourselves to understand others, letting others do what they’re gonna do, substances and mental health, and relearning vs unlearning.

On today’s stop on our journey, we’re taking a ride through the land of Communication Nation, where we’ll take a look at three key communication styles, understand the relationship between communication and comprehension, & discuss how body language and tone can sometimes betray our intentions.

On this stop of our journey, let’s meet Nick! We’ll discuss Nick’s understanding of ego, his journey of self awareness, and then we chat about finding happiness and how we present and/or represent ourselves.

On todays stop, we’re gonna go down the Avenue of Likes and Dislikes. Bear with your conductor because he’s in a weird mood in this episode hehe. Anywho, we’re going to gain some understanding behind why we gravitate towards certain likes and dislikes, interests, and why we’re comfortable or uncomfortable in certain situations.

On today’s stop of the Chrysalis Train, we’re gonna look at the view and see all of the things! Specifically the three main types of self awareness: Indexical, Detached, & Social. And we’re all gonna learn together what each of these mean for our own personal journeys.

Our first stop on The Chrysalis Train is all about the archetypes of self awareness, where we learn about different ways self awareness is expressed in various internal and external ways- in regards to how our actions change based on how we see ourselves and how others see us.
