In this episode I interview Evan Newton about how the meanings we attach to the negative experiences we've had in the past can keep us from reaching our true potential. We discuss the tendency we all have to build stories in our minds that dictate how we present ourselves to world. We also examine how this can be a large detriment to important relationships that may hold the key to helping each of us come to grips with a reality that is often different than our perceived interpretations.

In this episode, I interview Charles Eisenstein about his book the Ascent of Humanity as well as his upcoming book Sacred Economics. We discuss the development of the human sense of self and how converging crises are birthing the transition into a new world. In order to create the more beautiful world our hearts tell us is possible, we must let go of control, manipulation, and objectivity and breathe life into the new story of interconnectedness.

Breathe!
