About this listen
In this episode, we're getting real about what happens after the hustle. We explore the profound concept of life's "two halves," inspired by the work of Jungian analyst Dr. James Hollis. The first half is about building a life and focusing on success, but the second half is all about inner reflection and becoming your true self. We dive into the struggles of letting go of the ego, embracing vulnerability, and finding purpose beyond achievements and societal expectations.
But don't worry, it's not all serious! We also unpack our own messy coping mechanisms, from being loners in times of crisis to our own awkwardness of trying to comfort a friend. We discuss how our childhoods shaped the way we show up for others, and why sometimes, all you need is a friend who just gets it.
Join us as we explore how relationships evolve over time and what we've learned about personal growth and privilege. We wrap up with discussions on travel, the importance of experiencing life to its fullest, and a look ahead to upcoming adventures.
