Are toxic and unhealed relationships keeping us from growing? In this episode, Cody lays out his theory on why he believes the answer is yes. Drawing from Multiple Intelligence Theory, the brain's Default Mode Network, the evolutionary science of cooperation, mental and emotional capacity, and anecdotal life experience, Sarah and Cody discuss why.

In this episode of Deeply Curious, we discuss how we all have limitations and capacities in our life and the benefits of creating margin. Learning how to be a better human is a never-ending process. This episode is the first of a series discussing new theories we’ve learned on how to be better at being ourselves.

In this episode, we discuss a book Sarah is reading, women who run with the wolves. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, a Jungian psychologist and cantadora (keeper of stories) lays out what the wild woman archetype is through myths and legends. What would our society look like if we allowed women to be who they inherently are? How much better would we be if women could occupy the wild space they were created to inhabit?Check out Cody's other podcast, "Reflections On Now".

In this episode of Deeply Curious, we present the idea of becoming what you hate, and discuss what that means, what it looks like, and how to not let it happen. With the year we’re having, we thought it would be wise for all of us to stop and ask ourselves WHY we’re doing what we’re doing. We should all check our motives every once in a while.

In this episode of Deeply Curious, we discuss the principles of Cal Newport’s newest book, Digital Minimalism, while also discussing some of the best ways to use your free time since we’ve all suddenly got a lot of it.

Have you noticed how dualistic our culture has become? In this episode we discuss what dualistic thinking is, how dangerous it can be, and how to change it.

Cody's existential crisis has been averted and, in this episode, he shares what caused the crisis, what led him out of it, and a vision for the future. We discuss the importance of finding silence and solitude, the mystery of the universe that poets, philosophers, theologians, mystics, and artists have talked about for centuries, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer,  and internal narrative vs non-verbal thoughts.Jensen AV Club -Join the Jensen AV Club for exclusive content and to support the art you love.AmazonSupport the show by using this link before purchasing and Amazon will pay us a small commission.Cody: YouTube — Instagram — TwitterSarah: YouTube — Instagram — TwitterPodcast Gear: Microphones - Recorder - Stands - Pop FiltersSupport our show
