Self To Society

It's December 2018 & life is a little more fucked up than you'd like...The last person who deserves to be beaten up is yourself. I journey us through a couple major ideas, all landing on being authentic & gracious to yourself. Cheers!

Vulnerability comes with a cost, but what exactly is it? This was a raw & emotional episode that I hope connects to you personally.

For many of us creating emotional boundaries is difficult and the motivation to allow people to hurt us is very different for each of person.

Discussing the 3 major types of loss we experience, death, job/opportunity, and love.

I sat down and had an incredible conversation with social justice warrior, Crissy Saint-Massey, Co-Founder of Only Human.

Each of us have a power inside of us that is as good as it is evil, but what do we do to balance that & even more so, how to we teach our children about these powers?

Everyone has insecurities, yes, everyone. It is not profound to know that we have them, but it is necessary to uncover how they manipulate us. Insecurities are the #1 reason we treat ourselves and others poorly. Time to start digging :)

This episode is about how powerful balance can be in our personal and public lives should we choose to take the challenge.

Mark is my first in person guest on the show and it was a truly beautiful conversation!! You are going to be really glad you listened.

An exploration through authenticity. What it is, what it isn't & why we should pursue it.

A simple conversation about creating the emotional space we all need and deserve.

What started as a one sided rant about certain issues and my dear friend Chris Telfer joined me by surprise & the conversation was incredible.

Sometimes the only thing we need to do is show up, hoping for a little magic.

Most of us, if not all of us walk through life thinking we're decent humans despite some of the really fucked up shit we do. And I'd say we're generally decent, but we can probably do better.

Really focussing on looking at ourselves with clear vision and exercising gratitude for who we are and what we bring to our time on earth.

Continuing on from Ep 22 Narrative. I opened the box of resiliency but didn't go into great detail, so this is an exploration of how resilient we actually are.

An interesting narrative from my life w/ an interesting twist.

We carry around so much heavy bullshit throughout our adult lives that weighs us down and effects how we treat ourselves & those closest to us. If we could only learn the freedom that's possible when we remove shit from the bag...we'd be so much more full.

A brief conversation about getting through the shit that we keep in our closet, hidden from the rest of the world.

Some of the shit that we feel entitled to do or say to another human is absolutely silly. From sexual advances, to sending unsolicited dick pics, we're out of fucking control.

Your "Voice" may not simply be the vibration of sound that exits your mouth when you speak, but could be a much greater strength.

Figured that episode 16 was a great time to provide an "intro" to the podcast. The title track provides a deep insight into my heart for humanity, authenticity & the struggle between pain & resilience.

Elaborating on the conversation of consent

I'm sharing two personal stories regarding consent in a sexual situation. This episode may be hard to listen to if you've experienced trauma in this way.
