No Woman

Published on: 1st February, 2021

One thing is certain; Jackie is no "yes man". She joins the show to offer her perspective on the value of radical honesty and, of course, knowing when to say no. Along the way, she helps Brandon reflect on our ongoing crisis of empathy and what might guide us towards a more mindful and unified future. Other covered topics include:

- variance in morning routines

- how mission statements simplify life

- empathy amidst political polarization

- maintaining a healthy relationship with anger and other "negative" emotions

- rethinking karma

- the foundations of self-esteem

- building a secular ethical framework

- what we find most valuable in ourselves

- the duality of introspection

- the trouble with greatness

- our obsession with chaos and self-destruction

- the importance of early financial literacy


and much more!

About the Podcast

Impostors Anonymous
For the impostor in all of us.
Impostors Anonymous is an exploration of where conversation leads when we attempt to leave our identities at the door. This project aims to limit the audience's ability to be misguided by preconceived notions and labels, allowing for a focus on direct experience and the character of content. While any topic is on the table from any perspective, common themes will include consciousness, mitigating human suffering, and the unraveling of our group and internal identities.
