À propos de ce contenu audio

 This week, I set aside my original plan to talk about something that feels deeply necessary in light of recent events: our ability to hold complexity.Holding complexity means being able to carry multiple — and often conflicting — emotions, beliefs, and desires at the same time. It’s a mark of maturity, and it’s essential for healing at every level: personal, relational, communal, even global.In this episode, I explore:- Why we “contain multitudes” (thank you, Walt Whitman).- Carl Jung’s idea of the shadow, and why light and dark always come together.- The parable of the Prodigal Son as a story of holding both/and.- Dialectics: how two opposite truths can coexist without canceling each other out.- What happens when we can’t hold complexity: fear, rigidity, stalled growth.- How curiosity and compassion become the doorway and the key to transformation.I close with a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke that reminds us to let both beauty and terror shape us, and to keep going.To go deeper into this topic & for journal prompts & additional resources >> Subscribe to my Substack newsletterJoin the conversation on Instagram >> @thehiddenwaypodDon't miss an episode >> Follow The Hidden Way wherever you listen to podcasts.
