Ep. 88: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

I was reflecting a lot on my life when I grew up in the ‘hood with so little, and when I lived out of my car for 7 years as a climbing guide and how my life was so simple and I made hardly anything and bought hardly anything and I was so so so content.

Ep. 83: Vulnerability & Lovingkindness
