Welcome to my longest episode yet. 

I go on a rather long diatribe about empathy as a feeling and emotion, followed by a reading of one of my favorite essays on the subject of mental health. A nuanced and sober take by author Darren Allen. 

Enjoy and thanks for listening. 😉

Fear creates paper tigers. 

In this episode, I share a recent experience I had which triggered a long buried fear inside me. 

Thanks so much for listening. 🙏🏾

"What if I fall?" 

"Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?" 

An impromptu consciousness stream on taking risks, following your passion, and trusting life. 

In this episode, I share a real-life example of how I use life's experiences as a feedback loop to help me heal trauma. 

The story I share here will hopefully help you to harness and process your emotions in a healthier way that's beneficial to your growth and sanity.

From the moment we're born, we experience trauma in many forms. 

Oftentimes, this trauma is buried beneath a mountain of memories so dense, it can take decades and even lifetimes to uncover. This is the work we are involved in as humanity at this point in history. We are uncovering lifetimes of personal and collective trauma at an accelerated rate, and it aint pretty. 

In this podcast, I share my experience with trauma healing and what this work entails. This is what trauma work looks like for me at this time, and I hope that this will be a catalyst for your own healing or that it'll at least provide you with the tools that you can use in your own journey.
