The Strange Work of Becoming Fully Yourself (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Monika Bialoglowy joined me from twelve hours in the future, and somehow we spent eighty minutes reflecting each other back to ourselves. We talked about belonging, wholeness, inherited patterns, spirituality, pain, ambition, people-pleasing, judgment, being seen, the identities we build to survive, and what happens when we start questioning which parts of ourselves were ever really ours. Somewhere in the middle of it, we landed on the idea of being a puzzle piece in the wrong box. And I haven’t
How Much of Your Life Was Decided by One Choice? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Martin joins me in The Inner Room for a conversation that somehow moves from writing and alternate lives to grief, aging, societal expectations, community, creativity, and the choices that quietly shape everything that comes after them.

Read excerpt

Can You Grieve a Life You Never Got to Live? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Andy from Poetic Pause joins me for a conversation about identity, addiction, grief, motherhood, creativity, self-abandonment, daydreaming, and learning to live beyond the life you thought you were supposed to have. We talk about letting old dreams go finding new ways to become who you are, caring for others without disappering yourself, and why being honest about what you want, and who you actually are, cane feel so damn difficult.
Who Are You Without Everything You Were Taught to Be? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nicolette returns to The Inner Room for a conversation about self-authorship, deconditioning, authenticity, relationships, community, and what happens when you stop building your life around who you were taught to be. We talk about code-switching, trusting yourself, carrying other people’s emotions, sitting in the messy middle, and learning that becoming yourself may actually be more about remembering who was there all along.
