My Life is the Medicine Trailer
03/27/23 • 2 min
My Life is the Medicine is a podcast hosted by Chuck Hancock. Chuck sits down to have conversations with ordinary people to look at how everyday life has provided numerous lessons and initiations already that we sometimes overlook. In our age of abundant information, it is easy to get lost in “self-help” books, and social media “experts,” or continue to seek the “one” therapist, coach, healer, retreat, training, etc... seeking more, new, bigger, or better experiences ignoring what is already available to you right here, right now. The wisdom of your own experience from your own life. Drawn out by engaging in a relational dialog.
In the age of abundant experts and gurus, we take the subversive stance that you are actually the only expert you need for your own life. By looking closer at your own life experiences – both the ones that felt good and the array of challenges you had, you can harvest all the wisdom and medicine you need to guide your unique life and offer your unique gifts and wisdom to the world. We have conversations with ordinary people to look closer at how everyday experiences of living life have shaped us and taught us profound lessons. Often we don’t think much of our choices and experiences, but in reality, they all have a profound meaning. Instead of just moving from one thing to the next, we can slow down and pause to integrate the initiations that life has already provided, to become even more whole, balanced, and able to bring the medicine of our life, the medicine we’ve already been given, into the world.

Godwin and Chuck have a rich conversation about the riches he has from growing up in a time of famine in Ghana. We cover a lot of ground, literally and metaphorically, discussing his experiences in Africa, Europe, and the United States and how he has been able to adapt and thrive in many different cultures, all the while never losing sight of who he is, what his life is about, and what he has to offer the world. We talk about how he has learned to observe people and patterns deeply, and he shares his thoughts on health and challenges in our lives.
