2015 vs 2025: Ten Ways I’ve Come Home to Myself

from Dharma Dojo · host Marissa Sasak

As we step into a new year, January invites us into the theme of *Receiving* - not as something to earn, but as a natural part of being alive. In this episode, 2015 vs 2025: Ten Ways I’ve Come Home to Myself, I reflect on the past decade and share ten ways my life has changed. Not through achievements, but through learning how to choose myself, release self-abandonment, and allow life to meet me more fully. This is a spacious, honest reflection on becoming - how our relationships, career, inner world, and sense of belonging evolve when we commit to the journey of coming home to ourselves. Rather than offering a how-to, this episode is an invitation to notice your own journey with compassion. If you’re a deep feeler, this is a reminder that growth takes time, that you’re not behind, and that receiving from life is a natural byproduct of coming home to yourself. If you’re craving deeper support, you’re welcome to join the Dharma Dojo membership at any time. Our January theme is Receiving - learning to let life circulate naturally, reduce over-giving, and create safety in allowing yourself to be supported.

Mobile Hunters Dojo Nolan Taylor The *Mobile Hunters Dojo* aims to provide hunters with a platform for learning and sharing hunting experiences, focusing on mobile hunting techniques and strategies. The podcast is dedicated to helping listeners improve their skills in scouting, adapting to different environments, and being more effective hunters, particularly in the context of public land hunting. It also emphasizes the importance of community and honest, real-world experiences, offering advice from hunters who have firsthand knowledge of the challenges and rewards of the sport. Alongside technical skills, the Dojo encourages personal growth, inspiring hunters to reflect on their journeys, build resilience, and foster a deeper connection to nature and themselves.
