Description

Welcome
Hey everyone, it’s Mick. This week’s episode, “This Illusory World,” is a short but deep dive into the stories we inherit, vulnerability, and the beauty of being fully human—even when the world feels less than perfect. I’m reflecting on the myth of the fallen world, what it means to connect soul-to-soul, and how gratitude for our own struggles can transform everything.
 
Episode Summary
In this episode, I explore how ancient stories like original sin shape our experience, and why I believe we’re already closer to “the garden” than we think. I share honest moments from my own life—supporting clients, facing heartbreak, and the ongoing dance between vulnerability and resilience. I talk about the struggle of pretending, the surprising gifts of pain, and why I’m so grateful for every part of my journey. There’s a bit of philosophy, a bit of spirituality, and a whole lot of real talk about what it means to be alive and connected.
 
Key Takeaways

• We’re all influenced by the myth of the “fallen world”—even if we don’t realise it
• True connection comes from embracing vulnerability, not avoiding it
• The pain and challenges we face are not separate from our growth—they’re essential
• It’s okay to value fun and beauty, but I always want to go deeper
• No matter what, you are loved and supported beyond measure—even if you can’t see it right now
