Each and every day we have different portals that arise along the path. Uncomfortable spaces that we step into - often with meaningful experiences on the other side.  Although the pull to avoid the portal is strong - Bryan explores, in this episode, the importance of having the courage to step in. He talks about how it often leads to living a life in alignment with what's most important to us.  Bryan explores creating space for our thoughts, emotions, and sensations in our bodies - the idea of "showing up" before we feel ready - and much more.  As always - take what serves you, and leave the rest.  (This podcast is not meant to replace therapy.
