Ep 16: Who ARE You? Radical Authenticity w/Emily Hyland

Today’s conversation is with poet, yoga teacher, writing teacher, and –get this—founder and co-owner of the Pizza Loves Emily restaurant group, Emily Hyland! This one is soooo good! With the many hats she wears, Emily shares how her identity has evolved over time and how she has come to better understand who she is. We get to talking more about identity, especially during this time of dramatic shifts. Who are we without our jobs? Without the material things that we have come to use as markers of our identity? What does it mean to be radically authentic when the material world (specifically, social media) has wanted us to project a perfect picture? If anything, this pandemic has stripped away the materiality of our identities. What is left? We talk about how this moment can be an invitation to be radically authentic and how that example can change our worlds. // Today’s poems: Hafiz’s “Friends Do Things Like This” and Rumi’s “Gamble Everything For Love” //
