In the episode, I have a conversation with Drew Tupper. He is an author, life coach, husband, and father of two. He has dedicated his life to seeking truth and creating purpose.  He practices these intentions by examining and analyzing questions such as:  Why are we here? How should we live? What matters? And how can we BE so that our lives are an outward projection of our being? He has overcome struggle and knows what it feels like to feel stuck, angry, and lost. His life is a testament to the adage that growth is not always a straightforward path, but that it is always a worthwhile pursuit. In his words, he “found liberation in loving himself unconditionally,” which “allows him to create his life, rather than react.” Now, this is what helps his clients do. During this conversation, we talk about shame and how it affects us, and how to validate and separate yourself from emotions so that you don't cultivate co-dependency, we also touch on the topics of the masculine and feminine within a relationship dynamic and so much more.  Enjoy!  The link to his book and other ways you can connect with Drew is in the show notes below. :)  And as always, these weekly episodes are powered and brought to you by Zamio: the world's first social and education platform that develops emotional intelligence and growth mindsets for children and teens through AI, gamification, and humanistic psychology.
