This episode is PACKED with wisdom from my brother and fellow doctoral cohort member, Josh Ruszala. In this episode, Josh and I discuss how insecurities present themselves in social dynamics and how our thinking and feeling selves play a role. We both provide different anecdotes of our experiences with our insecurities and discuss how we navigate working through these social challenges. Carl Jung, Embodiment, Thinking, Feeling, and Hidden Trauma are just a few of the themes you'll find in this exchange. What a treat it was to host Josh and I hope you all get as much out of this as I did. Please subscribe, follow, share, and leave a review! Enjoy and see you next time!
