32. Lesson From a Modern-Day Caveman

Kristin Birdwell Season 1 Episode 32

In this conversation, Kristin shares a story about encountering a modern-day caveman in a ghost town in West Texas. This experience leads her to reflect on the importance of following one's inner directive and living an authentic life. She explores the challenges of accessing the inner directive in a noisy and consumer-driven world. Kristin discusses the power of questioning beliefs and seeking truth, as well as the need to live a life that others may not understand. She encourages listeners to embrace change and growth, beat to their own drum, and cultivate presence and trust in their instincts. Kristin also suggests implementing body-based practices and journaling as tools for self-reflection and getting in touch with the inner guide.
