On this episode of "Where’s the Nuance?"  I had the pleasure of speaking to Carlos DelaPlaya, he’s a spiritual life coach based out of Florida whose unique approach to coaching employs the philosophy of amplifying aliveness by helping individuals integrate fragmented aspects of our selves that we tend to hide or relegate to the shadow realm.  He is an active content creator who dispenses...

No bullshit. Just nuance. Truth. & The recognition of spiritual wisdom within the context of life and rationality.

Whether we're heartless dogs, passionate lovers, or somewhere in between most of us have heard the common idea that jumping from relationship to relationship is an indication of something toxic brewing...  But is that always the case?  Might there be some nuance to explore here? I believe there is;  this episode briefly explores my personal experience being a serial dater, my analys...

You have a narrative you hold on to like your life depends on it, because, well according to you it does. That experience, that loss, that trauma, defined the rest of your following experiences. So, why would you let go of it?  Wouldn't letting go of that painful narrative be harmful to me and the experience? I'm honouring myself by not forgetting what I went through, right? Not exactly. Powe...

Let's be honest, words like spiritual get thrown around so much by people who according to our best judgement are no monks, so what does it even mean to be spiritual? I can't speak for everybody, but here's my take.

How I found Psychedelics, their role in what I would describe as cataclysmic events in my life, & their shortfalls in a culture that recreates itself quite elegantly.

What are drugs and does using 'drugs' define us as individuals? What is the history by which mind altering substances came to be defined, controlled, & regulated? These are some of the questions we dive into on todays episode, where we explore the nature of being a 'good' person & the complex(?) relationship our own substance use plays in our lives, and our attempts to be good people.

I was talking with my coworker after we got off work & we began talking about the state of dating, more specifically, about the use of tinder and the other dating apps. She asked if I was on there I gave some pretentious answer about getting off them for my mental health or something, and she told me she was on them, but only when she needs some-& I interrupted, ‘what? MALE validation??,”...

A critical take on how mainstream conversations around race fall short in providing a way forward, miss the mark on what truly matters, and how over-identification may fail us.

A 'casual' conversational critique of doomsday narratives propagated by the media, how culture might shape the future, & how we got to the 'end of the world.'

A casual contemplation of the 'floating rock' mentality that's gained traction online and whether it always serves a beneficial purpose or whether it can create resentment. We dive into philosophy, personal truths, long-winded rants, & thought provoking nuance.

Thank you for listening and thank you for your patience as we experience a degree of audio imperfections. On this episode we dive into what nuance is, and how it came to free us in our own lives, Terra Joy @thesagesoul & El Niño @eldivinenino. We explore the nuances of why dogmatic thinking arose and how what was once beneficial now stands in our way of personal and collective growth.

Terra Joy @thesagesoul & El Niño @eldivinenino discuss why they're here. How they got here. Where they want to go.  Thank you for tuning in.
