Sociology. Philosophy. Consciousness. Metaphysics. Human behavior. Trauma. Meaning.I wasn't collecting knowledge.I was collecting evidence.Evidence that I wasn't broken.In this deeply personal—and surprisingly humorous—Midnight Snack, we explore what happens when a child grows up feeling different, becomes the emotional weather forecaster for everyone around them, and spends decades searching for the flaw that explains why they never quite felt like they belonged.But what if the defect was never there?What if awareness isn't pathology?What if sensitivity isn't weakness?What if the fish who notices the water isn't broken... they're simply paying attention?Tonight we talk about emotional dumping versus emotional expression, growing up surrounded by dysfunction, the lifelong search to understand ourselves, and the possibility that the thing we've spent years trying to fix may not actually be broken at all.Grab a snack.We're going hunting for a defect that may never have existed.💡 Listen · Reflect · Reset🎙️Produced by Kavi Apoha Studios 🌕A Zero Point Eclectic Production 💬 Hosted by Gin — Soul Doula, Eclectic Alchemist, founder of ZPE & QFFC.🎵Theme Song Lyrics: Rev.
