In this first episode about my it's-a-show-about-everything podcast, I talk about the midlife unraveling of our protective armor, and how a radical honesty practice is the most brutally efficient (and for me. necessary) way to finally encounter the truth of who we really are.
General topics covered:
0:26: Brene Brown discusses the impact of carrying emotional armor and the need to shed it for personal growth and connection.
4:27: I talk about my own journey of self-awareness and the struggle to let go of protective armor.
7:50: I explain how feeling like we have to please others and abandon our true self leads to feelings of intense shame and helplessness.
11:26: I reflect on how mixed feedback received from subscribers leads to a feeling I need to maintain different versions of myself.
15:27: This video is the first episode of a new podcast covering a wide range of topics and perspectives.
