- Sociedad y cultura
Hard Questions, Great Answers explores the various obstacles of navigating life though the complexity of the human experience. In an effort to decode, deconstruct, and redefine the way we understand ourseleves and the world around us, I analyze contructs of our society and how our loyalty to them can impede on our overall understanding of life. Hard Questions, Great Answers is a means by which we can begin to analyze our behavior, our thoughts, and negotiate how we subscribe to notions and ideas that do not serve our higher purpose as to elvate beyond the restrictions of our societal matrix. Through this analysis I hope to create infrasture to original thought and holistic actions in alignment with the things that best serve that purpose. I know the process can be an uncomfortable one, but you dont have to do it alone. Tune in every week to hear how I and my guest speakers move through the challenges of becoming who we truly are and manifesting the idea of self we visualize in our dreams. Follow me to a deeper understanding of WE and an intimate relationship with SELF.
