Season 4: Episode 1: JoVi

\ What's UP!! Man, I am excited to be back and to share LIFE WITH YOU! Granted, a lot has changed over the last couple months from when I first recorded this episode, but please know - the sentiments are deeply rooted in the mission and vision of this podcast. I never considered myself a liar, however, I have truly accepted not being 100% honest in every area of my life, is not indicative of being a truthful person. Accepting this reality for myself began to open doors I thought were closed, and created space to have honest conversations with myself and those I interacted with. I firmly believe knowing you ARE free and BEING honest, are interchangeable concepts. Because I am free, I can be honest. When I am honest, I am free. They work hand in hand. In this brief introduction, I describe a major life shift. From denouncing my previous religious beliefs to coping with my best friend's diagnosis with pancreatic cancer, I have found solace with sitting in the unknown. Over the last few months, grief, loneliness, anticipation, and joy were each intertwined in my lived experience. As my false self unraveled, I discovered a more precious thread, me. I've been clothed with garments of adaptation. Knitted with the capacity to evolve, grow, and change, I've learned to enjoy the warmth of my untethered soul. Should the sheets of society cover our authentic selves, or should we embrace though we may be cut from different cloths, the fabrics within our lived experiences are inheritably the same. I am excited to invite you to take a seat at the table. This season, I will welcome five other guest, who are all honored to share a small glimpse into their adaptation journey. I promise you, you will walk away full and anticipating more. Cheers to Season 4: Adaptation! -Your Host, JoVi
