In this episode, I take a close look at two opposing energies in the human personality. What dictates how we present to the world? Arrogant, over confident, inflated, unpleasant, unkind..or lovable, warm, friendly, affable, modest, considerate, balanced & grounded..Are we a mixture of both? Are we naturally one way? Does choice enter the picture? I’l be discussing this & more & as usual we’l have some groovy tunes!

Playing safe, following rules & guidelines rigidly, can be a hiding place from real living. Playing psychological games ie: the intellectual, the cynical, the smarmy, entitled victim..grows old & tiresome..being saved on the other hand, requires courage, risking being vulnerable, willingness to walk, jump or dive into the epicentre of human love, relationships & experiences..are you curious? Tune in & also enjoy the wonderful music.
