This upcoming conversation is with one of my FAVORITE guests to have on the podcast: Dr. Eneze Obuaya. An absolutely incredible human being. She is part medical doctor, part spiritual doctor, and she truly bridges the seen with the unseen unlike anyone I have ever experienced.

On this week’s episode, we welcome back my Topanga neighbor and friend, Edward Sczudlo. Not only is Edward one of my favorite neighbors, but he’s a Dharma friend. Having met through the local yoga studio, Edward is one of those favorite friends that brings me views of the world that help me to see things more clearly.

The inspiration for this show came unexpectedly. Drinking tea one afternoon, I asked Edward to share about the Buddhist perspective on what I see as horrible things in the world. The conversation that followed moved me and shifted things in such a way that it helped me to digest what I’m seeing in the world. A profound and visceral sense of responsibility for what is being manifested on this planet was born out of that conversation with Edward, so I’m sharing it with you in case it is useful to understand the Buddhist perspective.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The 3 levels of interdependence
• The nature of mind
• The importance of practicing ethics
• How practicing ethics can evolve our consciousness
• New ways to think about the crisis’ we are seeing
• & so much more!

I’m just SO excited to share this conversation with all of you. When Sheira Kahn and I get together to record a podcast, magic happens! It’s truly special.

Back in the Spring of 2022, Sheira and I got together to talk about how to work with the inner critic in a powerful way. This is somethign we can all resonate with – the perennial question of, “how do we work with the chatty, sometimes intense inner critical voice inside?”

In this conversation, we take things one layer deeper by entering into the realm of the ‘Id.’ This is the primal, animal part of ourselves…but as you’ll hear, we have not been fair to this part of the human psyche. We have discarded it, and cast it into the shadows. In doing so, we have robbed ourselves of a much-need connection to the vital, life-force energy.

In this episode, we’ll dive into:

• Why it’s important to get to know our “Id”, our animal, instinctual nature
• What we weren’t taught in school about the “Id”
• How the “Id” interacts with the Superego and the Ego
• What the possibilities are for your life by interacting with the “Id” – magic can happen!
• Which parts of the psyche correspond to life force energy
• Why we’re so afraid of our “Id”
• How the Wizard of Oz is a tale of integrating shadow
• And so much more!
