Hunting My Own Shadow - A Story Of Transformation | Ep 236

This is the story of a dark night of the soul, of traversing the depths of despair, and of rebirth.

It is the story of transformation from a shadow version of myself into my embodied fullness.

It is the story of reintegration with my body after years of trauma, and of letting go of old wounds and identities that no longer serve me.

It is a story of reframing my inner world, from victim hood into strength.

It is a story of how I am now hunting my own shadow.

Breaking Down Barriers: The Pitfalls of Judging Others | Ep 239

It is impossible to judge people objectively - your basis for forming an opinion is a function of the unique circumstances of your life (location, time, genetics, environment etc), thus your conclusions are dependent on factors external to you.

No one is privy to your inner world and you are not privy to theirs. How then can we ever know what they should or shouldn’t do?

In this talk I break down the pitfalls of judging others and discuss the implications for a life well lived…

Reconnecting With My Inner Child | Ep 235
