Ep. 57 - Fear of Rejection and Desire to Belong
One of our strongest human desires is to belong - and that's why we are sometimes willing to change who we are in order to be love. When we were children, it was a matter of survival. But as adults, this can get in the way of living a fulfilling life in alignment with who you really are. So how do you first notice this pattern, and break out of it? This is what we discuss in this week's episode.
Ep. 49 - High-Quality Selfishness
Selfishness has a bad reputation and I want to change that, because I believe that being selfish (a.k.a. doing more of what we really want) allows us to offer a much higher quality of selflessness. If everyone prioritized the filling up of their cup, we would bring a completely different energy to the world. In this episode, I explore how to put your desire for freedom first, and why this can change the world.
