For this episode we were joined by musician, poet, and social media creator El Niño. Join us as we discuss his unique path through "toxic spirituality", the dangers of a spiritual ego, and the authenticity-focused ripples he continues to passionately create because of it. A truly enjoyable conversation about the impact of unrepentant uncertainty and empathetic transparency, follow along as we explore the consequence of unquestioned assumptions/concepts/labels and the transformative power of accepting our pain, feeling our pain, and allowing that pain to become strength and empathy. Topics also include addiction, the reality and nuance of an awareness-based "coaching" relationship, the challenge of empathizing with snake oil salesmen, the uncomfortable realization of our collective trauma, the potential of hitting rock bottom, and more.
