#31 - The Birth Of An Idea: Turning Darkness Into Light and Life
This week’s episode is a bit of improvisation, as Pete and I initially planned to record the ‘The Unreasonable Awards 2023’, where we give out the most important awards to movies, series, products, and other important things. Unfortunately, Pete got a bit sick, so the award ceremony got postponed.I know, like millions of other people, I was also disappointed. However, this unexpected pause has given me a chance to delve into something deeply personal and perhaps familiar to many of you. Have you ever experienced periods of feeling down, heavy, or even depressed? I've documented these phases over the past 18 months, realizing they're not just unique to me.These moments of struggle are often when I'm disconnected from my inner self. They're a signal from my subconscious, urging me to listen more closely. By embracing this inner darkness, I've uncovered beautiful insights. It's a dance of sorts – wrestling and loving the darkness within, reducing outside noise to hear what lies deep inside.Have you ever had such periods in your life? Where did embracing your inner struggles lead to greater self-connection and insight?Join me in this impromptu episode as we explore the process of birthing ideas from our darkest moments.Resources:* YouTube: Rick Rubin on Depression* Instagram: The Power Of Negativity This is a public episode.
