Episode notes

Episode 19 Spiritual Intolerance and The Escape Hatch of Death. This week we are joined by meditation and mental health coach Joseph Braccio to speak about coaching, stillness, and the trap of valuing the vertical over the horizontal.

Are spiritual practices that place transcendence over what is here and now taking us away from actual presence? Joseph and I speak about the real possibility that the calm and still ideal we dream will come after death or enlightenment doesn’t exist, and how we can face the chaos that is here in its stead. We discuss the stories we tell ourselves, the way that suicidal ideation keeps us from going all in, and how it would be to enter into committed relationship with our lives.

Joseph shares about attempted suicide, so if you don’t have the capacity for that, there will be another episode next week.
