23. Are We Dreaming? Wisdom from a Child's Eyes
In this solo episode, I invite you into a reflective conversation inspired by a simple yet profound question from my daughter: "How do we know if this is real, or if we're just dreaming?"
Through the lens of childlike curiosity, we explore themes of consciousness, play, triggers as teachers, and the importance of staying open to wonder in a world that often values certainty. I share a touching story rooted in ancient parable, offering gentle reminders to:
- See the world with beginner's eyes
- Let curiosity lead your daily experiences
- Observe children as guides to deeper wisdom
- Play with your reality and notice what shifts
Whether you're navigating personal growth, parenting, or simply searching for a fresh perspective, this episode invites you to reawaken the joy of discovery--and to consider that maybe, just maybe, reality isn't as fixed as we think.
In This Episode:
- The surprising wisdom children offer us
- A beautiful parable about dreams and reality
- How to access a beginner's mindset
- Reclaiming the power of play in adult life
- Practical invitations to explore curiosity in your day
