During the House Judiciary Committee hearing on February 11, 2026, Attorney General Pam Bondi sat just feet away from survivors of Jeffrey Epstein—and refused to turn and look them in the eye. While it is easy to label such behavior as soulless, this episode explores a more difficult question:

What does it take for us to find the courage to face the parts of ourselves we’d rather ignore?

Cameron Conaway reframes this moment of public cowardice as an invitation to personal growth, examining how we can move past "righteous finger-pointing" to nurture a more conscious and courageous version of ourselves.

“We are here to awaken from the illusion of separateness.” — Ram Dass

In an individualistic culture that promotes the myth of the "self-made millionaire," it is easy to lose sight of the interconnections of all things. Drawing on the teachings of Ram Dass and Thich Nhat Hanh’s concept of "interbeing," this episode reframes social anxiety and loneliness as a "Comparing Mind" that separates us from the unit.

Recognize that what feels like a solo act is actually the result of a thousand helping hands.
