Overcoming Addiction to Bad News and Fear Porn

In the spirit of the eclipse season, we’re talking about transitions, those within ourselves and the collective. In this AMA episode with my brilliant cohort Bailey, we dive deep on what it means to live authentically and thrive in your purpose. 

I reflect on my own journey, from my ego-driven motives in the music industry to trying to fit in superficially in the fashion world. I’ve since found my calling as a storyteller, but I am continually refining my purpose. Bailey and I talk about how I’m transitioning from focusing on physical health toward the metaphysical realm. Somewhat paradoxically, I get vulnerable about the ways I’ve hidden from being vulnerable in the past. 

We also explore the drastic shifts happening in the collective, and how focusing on the outward can distract us from, more important, inner work. We talk about ways to confront the ego, escape the prison of self-centeredness, and deal with the deluge of fear porn and doom scrolling in today’s world. 

We close on a hopeful note, though, reiterating our faith in humanity. We trust that God’s got our backs. If you need a reminder of your own power and capacity to love, you won’t want to miss this one.
