Lauren and Shaina: Are you Special? A Dialogue on Light and Shadow

In today’s episode, Lauren and Shaina explore the shadow and light of wanting to “be special.” From where they are from in the United States, they both share they have felt the desire to be noticed, seen, and to be recognized for having a special gift. They explore where this comes from a cultural and religious perspective and dissect some of the gifts and shadows within this desire. They discuss what it means to be “special” and if that desire is even a good one. As we come into the Rise of the Feminine - will individuality and specialty support our world or will collective belonging offer a better outcome for us all?
