Dive into a thought-provoking exploration of how our need for control limits the infinite potential of who we are. In this conversation, we unpack the paradoxes of identity, from the societal roles we cling to, to the false sense of certainty we seek. What happens when you stop trying to control how you're perceived or where life is heading? How does letting go open the door to true freedom and self-awareness? We also discuss the importance of balancing action with non-attachment, recognizing that the freedom you seek might already be here, just waiting to be uncovered.

Whether you're struggling with societal expectations or simply curious about how to live more authentically, this discussion offers practical insights on navigating uncertainty, embracing the fluid nature of reality, and living from a place of infinite possibility. Join us as we challenge the narratives that keep us trapped and celebrate the freedom that comes from letting go.

An exciting conversation with special guest Lyam (@yamsox) Episode 2 is all about relationship and communication (with ourselves and "others"). Join us as we discuss the recognition that what we often consider to be entirely separate fields of study, belief systems, or realms or thought, are actually more akin to different languages for describing and understanding the vast uncertainty of our unitary existence. Likewise, we explore the importance of understanding that our descriptions, regardless of how convincing they may be, are never the described. Other topics in this incredible episode include (but are not limited to) childhood, parenthood, loneliness, psychedelics, energy, god, the devil, and more.
