#006 - Time Traveling with Sean Hotchkiss 10.08.2021 1:26:04

Sean Hotchkiss joins us for this session, and he had a ton to unpack on the show: his journey through self-discovery and acceptance, writing stories as a means of survival, and a therapeutic technique we can all use to play golf with a younger version of ourselves. Sean is a former magazine writer, who now runs a life coaching practice, and the three of us learned so much from how rawly and candid...
