S2E11: Sharon Mor & Drew Horning – An Intimate, Soulful Conversation

12/31/20 • 58 min

For New Year’s Eve, 2020, we have an intimate conversation with our podcast co-hosts, Sharon Mor and Drew Horning. Listen in as they explore and share many aspects of their Hoffman experiences – as students, teachers-in-training, active teachers, and now as Hoffman Podcast co-hosts.

TRANSFORMATION & LOVE

What you’ll come to know from listening to this soulful conversation is how much Sharon and Drew love each other. They are friends, yes, but more than that there is a palpable sense of family between these two. This love is the kind of love we experience at the Process with our fellow Process mates. When we do this deep work together we come to love each other in a profound way. Sharon and Drew were also in Hoffman Process teacher training together, which, as they reflect on it here, grew them even closer. Sharon beautifully expresses her joy in realizing that, as teachers of the Process, they will grow old together.

Drew speaks about how dangerous the Dark Side’s use of ‘weaponized awareness’ is and how the power of self-compassion is vitally essential to counteract this Dark Side tactic. Sharon talks about how, through the transformation she experienced at the Process, she is now the person she always wanted to be.

SHARON AND DREW ALSO TALK ABOUT:

The most powerful, pivotal moments in each of their Processes.
Stories from their childhood years.
How the transformation they experienced at the Process now looks in the day-to-day of their lives.
What they would share with students as graduates on day six of the Process.
A bit of what they’ve learned teaching the Process.
Their insights and understandings about the power of the Process from the perspectives of both student and teacher.
And...a little bit about podcasting!

Toward the end, Sharon and Drew consider what it was like to share this time with each other and with you. They discover that intimate, soulful conversations help us learn more about each other in new and amazing ways.

S2E10: Marni Battista – Living Courageously

Marni Battista is a dating and relationship coach and the author of Becoming Irresistible. How did she get into this line of work? Marni shares that her patterns, the way she was raised, and the way she experienced love, came together to create, what she calls, “a bad picker” when it comes to finding love. She came to the Hoffman Process because she did not want to pass these patterns on to her three daughters.

Years later, Marni founded Dating With Dignity and the Institute for Living Courageously. Marni discovered that while people initially want to find dignity in dating, what it is really about is finding self-love. This requires, living courageously.
