There was no rock, log, or other obstacle — and yet, Taylor White Moffitt found the ground rising to meet her as she ran through a Boulder, Colorado alley.

It was freeing in the way a smack to the face often is.

“I just felt this feeling inside me of like, ‘You cannot keep up this bullshit anymore,’” she says.

A psychotherapist, she’d dedicated her life to helping people reduce their suffering. But after 30 years, she’d come to a realization.

“Although I find talking really useful, I also find not talking, and listening, quite useful,” she says. “I find breathwork useful. I find moving your body useful. I find mindfulness and presence useful. And so for me, it was a natural transition to say I do not think that psychotherapy, one-on-one in a private office only is enough for people to relieve their suffering.”

And thus was born Humanity Shared: a place for “all humans looking to live a more empowered & embodied life.”

In this episode of the Infinitely Scalable podcast, Taylor joins hosts Tony Ronchi, Cary Hair, Mike Giardina, and Andrew Charlesworth for a discussion on acceptance, reducing suffering, connection, and the human condition.
