Life Long Learner

In this deeply insightful episode, Gines, Matt, Ben, and special guest Ryan tackle a range of engaging and vital topics that resonate with anyone committed to personal growth and lifelong learning. They kick things off with a candid discussion about the impact of perimenopause on women's health.

Drawing from a recent workshop that unveiled a comprehensive list of symptoms and the profound emotional toll it can take, they highlight the importance of acknowledging and addressing these often-overlooked issues. Despite having 25 registrants for the workshop, only a handful attended, which sparked a conversation about the common tendencies of denial and avoidance when it comes to confronting health issues, even when viable solutions are within reach.

As the episode unfolds, the hosts delve into the transformative power of recognizing and embracing our shadows, flaws, and negative emotions. They discuss how facing these aspects of ourselves head-on can lead to significant personal growth, greater resilience, and more authentic connections with others. This segment emphasizes the need to move beyond denial and distractions, advocating for a path toward genuine self-improvement.

The conversation doesn't stop there. Gines, Matt, Ben, and Ryan also stress the critical importance of self-reflection. They underscore the necessity of making time for introspection in our busy lives and the profound benefits it can bring. One key takeaway from this discussion is the value of regularly asking oneself, "What was not good today?" and being comfortable with not needing to immediately solve every issue. This practice fosters a deeper understanding of oneself and encourages a more mindful and accepting approach to personal challenges.
