How we show up in the world often takes on a wide variety of expressions. Our public and private lives reflect the many roles we play in society and the varying facets of personality traits we form to cope with different situations. From parent to co-worker, artist or spiritual practitioner, from a social media persona to a dinner guest with friends, even bygone roles remaining with us from childhood, our sense of identity moves through a myriad of shapes and forms.

How we show up in the world often takes on a wide variety of expressions. Our public and private lives reflect the many roles we play in society and the varying facets of personality traits we form to cope with different situations.

From parent to co-worker, artist or spiritual practitioner, from a social media persona to a dinner guest with friends, even bygone roles remaining with us from childhood, our sense of identity moves through a myriad of shapes and forms.

But what happens when these different aspects of our lives no longer communicate? Or when we are expected to abide by a former version of ourselves that no longer reflects our current view of the world?

Joining me for this conversation is licensed mental health therapist, Jay Stringer. Jay’s academic background includes a master’s degree in counseling psychology from the renowned Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. As well as he has received specialized training under Dr. Dan Allender while serving as a Senior Fellow at the Allender Center.

As we approach our final episodes on this seasons theme of art and identity, I think you’ll find Jay’s perspective to be both rewarding and challenging.

Ancient Tools for Modern Living: Wisdom from Mamas, Mystics, and Medicine Makers Tzipporah Gerson-Miller Welcome to Ancient Tools for Modern Living. Tzipporah Gerson-Miller, certified yoga therapist and licensed psychotherapist explores the integration of ancient wisdom teachings and practices rooted in yoga, meditation, spirituality, and other contemplative based traditions in order to restore a sense of wholeness, vitality, and deeper connection to our humanity while meeting the mental health and physical health challenges we all face in modern daily living. Interviews with experts in fields such as yoga therapy, spirituality in healthcare, meditation, mindfulness, holistic nutrition, and contemplative psychology will be presented as a strategy to promote awareness, cultivate inter-disciplinary dialogue, and to collectively re-envision the way we respond to the challenges that arise in modern day society. Moviehouse Mystics Kevin Ganey and Koda Uhl Each episode we dive into a movie and break down the various aspects of what makes it so great.  Shine The Light Allie Theiss | 777 Institute Each week our host, Allie Theiss, gets to know lightworkers/mystics/healers by asking questions about their gifts, what makes them tick, and how they do their part to help the world. Unclassified Woman Michelle Marie McGrath - Mystical Midwife for Magical Mavens, Writer Unclassified Woman offers an inspiring stream of conversation with women around the globe, building lives beyond society's expectations. Part myth-busting, part inspirational story-sharing, Michelle Marie McGrath interviews amazing childless or childfree women, including authors, film-makers, activists, entrepreneurs, priestesses, leaders, speakers and creative mavens, who share their experiences and insights, while questioning the expectations of women everywhere. Michelle shares interviews with women all around the globe who are childless or childfree for a multitude of reasons. With almost 25% of women over 40 child-free by choice or childless through circumstance, it seems absurd that women still have to justify their decisions or endure pity about why they're not mothers. Motherhood is not a mandate and yet so many women are made to feel 'less than' or viewed suspiciously or disparagingly, if they are creating a life of meaning beyond biological mothering.
