Running into obstacles doesn’t mean that something has gone wrong: it's part of the creative process. Do obstacles present a hidden gift? How do we react when circumstances conspire to slow us down?

In our google-able, AI-assisted world, we’re rarely stuck because we lack information. A lot of times, something else is at play. In this episode, we take a look at the "I-don't-knows" of life. How do we make our way through?

Root cause work. Ecosystem work. Let's talk about it.

When we become curious about the ecosystem, root cause, and foundation of things, we may find that some of our symptoms, issues, and challenges begin to evaporate on their own.

* * *

Let's explore the somatic, emotional, and mindset elements of living and thriving, even in the face of obstacles.

As you’re growing, learning, and absorbing, leave space for your own data, your own questions, and your own insights. We can learn from other people’s stories, but the most sustainable changes come from turning inward and strengthening the relationship we have with ourselves.

What are we choosing? What do we own? Depending on our sense of self, and our sense of agency, we have a very different experience of our actions and obligations. In this episode, we explore ownership, willingness, and choice.

Pause. Drop your shoulders. Let go a little.

The practice of letting go is about relaxation and capacity, but it’s also about personal power and personal agency. Even in the midst of limitations and constriction, we have access to moments of agency, awareness, and permission-giving.

Time can be collapsed, stretched, and morphed through our perception. Psychologist Gay Hendricks calls this phenomenon Einstein Time. He talks about the idea in his book, The Big Leap.

In this episode, I talk a bit about the concept of Einstein Time, how I struggled with it, and how it finally clicked for me after learning somatic practices.
