ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The Journey Continues, Identity, Attachment and Authenticity
Recorded on my last day in Indianapolis, right after Ray and I spoke together on stage for the very first time, this episode goes deeper into identity, attachment, and authenticity than we ever had before.
We watched the Bob Marley film One Love together that morning, and it gave us a way into something I have said for years without ever quite knowing what to do with it, you can't unpickle a pickle. Ray took that phrase somewhere genuinely useful, pulling the pickled onion apart layer by layer, and I got triggered live, by nothing more than a cancelled flight, and we used it as a real example right there in the moment.
In this episode:
- Watching Bob Marley's One Love, and his own genuine ambiguity around identity
- You can't unpickle a pickle, and Ray's extension of it, pulling the pickled onion apart
- Getting triggered live by a cancelled British Airways flight, and what it actually revealed
- Viktor Frankl again, and the real freedom that lives in the space between stimulus and response
- Marley's idea of I and I, and what it means to remove hierarchy from how we relate to people
Pull quote: "What you can't do is unpickle the pickledness, but you can pull the onions and get the layers back, to see the essence of who you really are."
Come and join me and Ray for Episode 29, where I open up honestly about my own struggle with comfort eating and what it actually means to ask, who are you, really.
