The Great Unlearn
We grew up in a world we didn’t create. And one idea after the next—whether it was culture or society—we were told how to look, how to feel, and who to be. We were told that if we checked off the “right” boxes (think: career, car, money), we’d feel good, we’d be whole, and—naturally—we’d be set. But, turns out, there’s more to the story. On The Great Unlearn, Cal dives into unlearning and questioning what the world taught us, and—in the process—how to be the truest version of yourself, minus the bullshit. Whether it’s figuring out how to navigate a relationship, dealing with your emotions, diving into spirituality, or just feeling comfortable in your own skin, Cal and friends navigate the choppy waters of what it really takes to unlearn all the ideas we took for granted, and how to be the best version of what, sometimes, can be so hard to be: yourself.

94. Jared Pickard and Eben Britton | The Relationship Between Earth Care and Self Care
Have you ever experienced a calamity that seemingly optimized your life?From Wall Street to biodynamic farming, Jared Pickard and his wife tended to one of our country's only biodynamic farm; until earlier this year when fires seized control.

Shortly after, when depression sank in, he found himself returning to one thing he knew could use some tending to – self care. And wildly enough, one of the few things that survived the fires was a surprise trunk full of their skincare serum that they had produced via the resources from their farm.Jared, Eben and I dive into...→ Why organic farming isn't always healthy→ The intimate relationship between earth care and self care→ Interacting with food as a positive feedback loop→ The importance of having dreams and desires through turbulent waters→ Practicing the skill of shifting from narrow focus to open focus→ And more!Resources:• UNLEARN for 10% Discount Sun Potion• Eben on The Great Unlearn• Summer Solstice SerumConnect with Jared and Be Here Farm + Nature:• Instagram• WebsiteConnect with Eben:• Instagram• TikTokConnect with Cal:• Instagram• Facebook• YouTube• Website• Subscribe to the newsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions
