Lifestyle of the Weird and Interesting Podcast

Welcome to The Lifestyle of the Weird and Interesting Podcast! Where the discussions are about topics that you would never find in a handbook of life. This podcast came about from conversations between two best friends, and through that realizing that everyone is a little bit weird in their own way - but that's also what makes each of us interesting! These are topics that we want to share with others, and "normalize" by talking about them.

    S3 EP 21 - Subconscious, the Projection Field, and Dreams

    Hi friends!We can't wait to get deep into the weeds of the subconscious, the projection field, dreams, and how these all connect to one another.Subconscious as the "Deep Pond": The subconscious mind holds all conditioned beliefs and memories, operating below conscious awareness and influencing perception and behavior.Projection Field as a "Bubble": In Human Design, the projection field (for Projectors, 2nd/5th profiles) acts as a reflective bubble. It mirrors others' unhealed parts back to them, serving as a natural filter for misaligned people.Dreams as Subconscious Language: Dreams are the subconscious's symbolic language for processing emotions and rehearsing outcomes, especially when the conscious mind is overwhelmed.Discernment is Key: The work involves recognizing subconscious patterns and discerning external feedback. True guidance fits your values ("square peg"), while projection does not ("flower shape").Connecting the ConceptsThe projection field mirrors subconscious content back to you.External Feedback:Projection: Doesn't fit your values or experience ("flower shape").Guidance: Resonates and feels true ("square peg").Discernment Process:Repetition: Recognize recurring patterns.Recognition: Identify the subconscious root.Discernment: Filter external feedback.Core Values: A strong foundation in personal values is essential for navigating projections and staying aligned. _________________________________________________________________If you want to be part of the conversation, write to us at weirdlifestylepod@gmail.comPlease rate, review, and share the podcast with your friends to spread the word! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️You can follow us on Instagram!

    S3 EP 16 - VULNERABILITY & AUTHENTICITY

    Hello friends,Today we are discussing vulnerability and authenticity. Vulnerability and authenticity are interconnected concepts that require courage and practice. Both involve aligning internal experiences with external expressions, often challenging societal expectations. Misconceptions exist: vulnerability isn't weakness, and authenticity doesn't mean oversharing. Listening to your body, starting small, and giving yourself grace are key to developing these traits.Defining Vulnerability and Authenticity:- Vulnerability: willingness to express true emotions, thoughts, and feelings despite risks- Authenticity: alignment between inner experience and outward expression- Both concepts viewed through psychological, biological, and spiritual lenses- Vulnerability creates space for authenticity; authenticity strengthens ability to be vulnerableChallenges and Misconceptions:- Black and white thinking can hinder vulnerability and authenticity- Misconception: vulnerability is weakness (it's actually courageous)- Misconception: authenticity means sharing everything (it involves discernment)- Difficulty in listening to body signals before reaching burnout (especially for Capricorns)Resources:- Brene Brown BooksJournal prompt: If I weren't afraid of judgement, what would I do or say?Crystal: "I would be more loud about my thoughts, feelings, opinions, and morals."Sheena: "I would share more of my raw emotions and unedited thoughts, which would look a lot like a hot take"If you want to be part of the conversation, write to us at weirdlifestylepod@gmail.comPlease rate, review, and share the podcast with your friends to spread the word! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️You can follow us on Instagram!
