In this episode of Cultivating Clarity, we sit down with our friend Mauro Perez, a practitioner of Non-Violent Communication and Authentic Relating, to explore the versions of ourselves that show up in different social settings, staying in integrity with our values, growing up without belonging, finding direction in the unknown, and rebuilding self-trust after depression and addiction.

If you’ve ever felt lost, disconnected, or unsure of who you are in different spaces, this conversation is for you.

In our first field conversation, we sat down outdoors to explore what it really means to build healthy relationships — with others, and with ourselves.

We talked about connection, respect, and why the journey matters more than the destination.

It’s easy to fixate on outcomes — the perfect partner, the perfect life — but real growth happens in how we walk the path, not where it ends.

These are the moments that remind us: every step, every conversation, is part of becoming.
