Ep. 3 - Shadow Work & Minimalism with Megan Ellis

In today's episode we talk about growing up as pastor's kids, our background in Christianity, working with our shadows and dark periods of life, true forgiveness, how everything is a reflection of ourselves, the vitalness of honesty and vulnerability in relationships, getting stuck on words instead of the actual experience, the art of dance, minimalism, creating space, and letting go, and much more! Hello Humans! :-)Welcome to Episode 3 of This Human Thing!Today I’m here in mi casa with Megan Ellis, and if you couldn’t tell from our last names, we are in fact related. I’m the oldest of 3 siblings and she’s the youngest. She actually just turned 15 two days again (happy birthday Megan) so we have about an 8 year age gap. And yes, my dear sister is visiting me here in san diego for the week. We’ve been having quite the time. It’s been so fun to show her around my new home. So let me give you a little bit of a background on Megan. She lives in Northern Virginia about 15 min outside of our nations capitol, washington DC. She will be moving into her sophomore year of high school in the fall, she’s really into minimalism, she’s an amazing dancer. primarily ballet and hip hop. And she has the most loving, kind, and compassionate little soul ever. "I’m so happy to have you on, one because i love you, but also because probably most of the people who listen to this are much older than you and i think it’ll be really interesting to gain some wisdom from a younger perspective; someone who hasn’t had as many layers of life put on them as some of us folks who are a little older. And it seems that most people your age, and even most people my age, haven’t been exposed to the amount of inner reflection that you’ve opened yourself up to, so i’m looking forward to you sharing your experience."Thanks for being on the show, Megan!
