If you're like me, you're tired of social media creating artificial boundaries between us and them. Yet we share our most basic desires, fantasies, fears, defenses, and conscious human experience. The more intently we peer outward to understand another, the more we find ourselves looking inward. These conversations are topical dives into specific issues pertaining to psychology, emotion, connection, pain and human potential. Follow along to grow your understanding of yourself and the human experience.
