  • We're Not in our Own Skin: Journal Prompt 4, Embracing the Paradox of Change
    Apr 15 2026

    L' Shawn and Eryn discuss the fourth prompt in their guided journal about "The paradox of change," exploring how contradictions and complexities show up during life transitions. Eryn shares insights about how paradox serves as a container for holding both difficult and hopeful aspects of change, while L' Shawn connects the concept to the fluid nature of human existence and the challenges of embracing uncertainty. They examine how the ego can create expectations of simplicity and predictability that conflict with the natural complexity of change, using Eryn's personal example of being embarrassed by a store tag still on her jacket during a work meeting as an illustration of this concept.
