"Trust Begins Within: A Journey Back to Self and Spirit"
Season 7 is inspired by the powerful quote by Krishnamurti: "It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society," we're diving into the deep work of healing—not just as self-care, but as a path to purpose, dharma, and collective transformation.
Episode Summary:
In this heartfelt conversation, Adina and Joshua explore what it means to cultivate trust, intimacy, and authentic communication in a society designed to keep us separate and afraid. Drawing connections between personal trauma, societal programming, and the soul's longing for connection, they dive into themes like projection, self-trust, spiritual faith, communication as a sacred art, and the impact of early relational wounds.
They reflect on the tension between personal responsibility and communal care, the role of presence in healing, and how to reclaim our birthright of wholeness amidst chaos.
This episode is an invitation to examine the ways mistrust is woven into our cultural fabric — and how, through self-awareness, soul-rooted communication, and courageous love, we can begin to weave a new story.
