episode 180: Your Authentic Self - The Difficult Work of Becoming
Discovering your authentic self is something that can seem like a vague or cliche notion. Is there a balance between authentic inner life and authentic communal life? Where are the tensions? What does it even mean to be your authentic self? These are some of the questions explored in this episode as Allen, Bonnie, Jeff & Rajeev discuss the difficult task of figuring out our place in this insane world.
Self awareness and our relation to one another become prominent talking points during this conversation. Self reflection, along with a solid community, can be powerful allies in our journeys toward peace about who we are and what we are becoming.
The episode closed with a new segment called One of These Things IS Like The Other. A game where two things are compared to a completely different thing. Don’t worry, when you listen it’ll make a lot more sense.
