I’m fascinated by the idea that there is a deeper connection between all of us than we can see. Our illusion that we are solitary can lead to a lot of pain … and it can also lead us to romanticize that pain and maybe wallow in it in a way that can be unhealthy. On today’s show, you’ll meet Judy Wilkins-Smith. She says that we are shaped by patterns handed down by our ancestors—invisible multi-gene...

I’ve been thinking a lot about how the negative things we experience can come to shape the way we see ourselves, other people, and the path before us.

Ever meet a narcissist? If you—or anyone you know—has ever been trapped in a narcissistic abusive relationship, trying to make sense of what’s going on and moving toward healing and release can seem impossible.
