Dualistic Unity

Dive into an enlightening exploration with Jackie and Amanda as they navigate the complexities of self-acceptance, the beauty of life's simple pleasures, and the transformative power of facing our superficial investments. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to join us by the metaphorical fireplace, where we share personal anecdotes, from cat-sitting adventures to the meditative tranquility of aimless strolls, and discuss the profound lessons learned from embracing life as it is, not as we wish it to be. Through candid conversations about our struggles with societal expectations, intrusive thoughts, and the quest for self-identity, we unveil the essence of living fully – by being present, appreciating the now, and finding joy in our inherent connectedness with everything around us. Tune in to rediscover the freedom in letting go of the pursuit of perfection and the beauty of just being.
