In this episode I discuss the dance between the vulnerability that comes with authentic expression and the impostor syndrome that comes slinking behind the fear of being seen. This episode was recorded on January 31st, 2025.

In this explore I talk about my experience sitting with my irritability (my grumpy old man). I share how I've learned to create more ease in my life even when the emotions that come up are less than sunny. Is it possible to enjoy our grumpiness and irritability without taking it our on others? I'd say so.

In this episode I refer to the book No Bad Parts by Richard C. Schwarz
