The inherent interdependence of humans and our biologically wired orientation to connect means that large scale events and developments such as health epidemics and treatment approaches, economic crises, environmental changes, wars, peace initiatives, and social movements leave a psychological, emotional, and energetic imprint on every one of us. Scientific research, through avenues like interpersonal neurobiology, affirms our intraconnectedness as human beings. This means we all are influenced to some degree by collective shifts and developments that occur...2025-02-2420 minKlarity The Podcast with Karin StawarkyLanguageSend us a textWords matter. Have you heard that before? Turns out, what we say and what we write is another shaping force on our inner 'root systems' that influence how we see ourselves, others, and the world. In episode 7 of season 2, Karin explores language through the lens of metaphor. We all use metaphors in our communication, and most of the time we don't even realize we're doing so. Common metaphors to describe events, experiences, or people that we learn or absorb through our lives actually have a powerful influence on how we see, filter, and...2025-02-1721 minKlarity The Podcast with Karin StawarkyCulturesSend us a textKarin "zooms out" in this sixth episode of Season 2 to explore ways that culture of the country where you were born (and later, the countries in which you live) shape your inner "root system".

Cultures of this sort influence in myriad ways; through what or who is celebrated and honored, to what or who is punished or ostracized, to what is focused on (or not) in media and advertising, to name a few. As we become more aware o...2025-02-1022 minKlarity The Podcast with Karin StawarkyInstitutions & Communities of PurposeSend us a textWhere you work. Where you went to school. Where you practice a faith. Where you volunteer.

In this fifth episode of Season 2, Karin explores this shaping force on your inner "root system".

The neighborhood that you grew up in has a material yet often implicit influence on the stories you carry and the default lenses you use.

Tune in to learn more about how your immediate physical 'surround' can expand or limit your p...2025-01-2717 minKlarity The Podcast with Karin StawarkyAncestorsSend us a textIn this third episode of Season 2, Karin explores the next shaping force on your inner "root system": your ancestors, or family lineage. While it may seem obvious that the family you grew up among has an influence on the lenses through which you see yourself and the world, you also hold within you the influence of ancestors you've never met. Science has demonstrated the validity of such psychological inheritance across generations through the field of epigenetics. Tune in to learn more about how you reflect the effects of the life experiences of those wh...2025-01-2019 minKlarity The Podcast with Karin StawarkyMentors and Tor-MentorsSend us a textIn this second episode of Season 2, Karin explores the next shaping force on your inner "root system": individuals from your lived experience who have you have experienced as a "mentor"... or a "tor-mentor".

So how do we begin?Tune i...2024-06-0317 minKlarity The Podcast with Karin StawarkyEpisode 8: RitualsSend us a textIn episode 8 of Klarity, Karin Stawarky identifies an influential way to strengthen and deepen relationships across every aspect of our lives: rituals.
