My Humanity Is Showing

With Super Bowl LVII coming up, several people are asking me, “Which team are you rooting for: Chiefs or Eagles?” In this episode, I share my experiences with football and other competitive team sports.

I am not a fan of flying! Everything from airports to plane exhaust bothers me. Most of all, I hate not being in the cockpit flying the plane. I have a strong need to be in control. In this episode, I reflect on my journey from unchecked control to the freedom that comes from release.

In this week’s episode, we continue where we left off last week with the rest of the recording from the live session on the Wisdom app.
In my teens, I became committed to religion. This was the start of a long journey of seeking perfection on faith. Through my own personal struggles, I was led to a break from religion while I strived to “meet” God. Today, my religious practice is nowhere as tightly constructed as it once was; however, I have been fortunate to grow along spiritual lines. This episode is Part 2 of a two part exploration of the topic.
Trigger warnings: depression, suicide

Why is it so hard for me to maintain eye contact? Am I afraid of intimacy (into me, you see)? I can’t even seem to maintain eye contact with myself.
In this week’s episode, I reflect on the topic of eye contact and moving past feelings of inadequacy and shame. Despite my fear of rejection, I invite you to look me in the eye.
PS - after recording this episode I learned that there’s a song titled “Into me you see” by Katy Perry. I am interested to listen and possibly share on it in a future episode.

There have been many things I have done and not done while trying to “fit in.” In this episode, I reflect on the impact of inclusion on my life.
