from The Whole of Us · host Kelsey & Tom Wauchope
Have you ever felt stuck between holding tight to what you believe is true and still wanting to stay open and curious?We scrapped our planned episode and leaned into a genuine conversation about exactly that. We explore how travel shifts our lenses, why labels and opinions have become tied to our identity, the global sense of hopelessness, and why the mental health crisis feels more like animals in the wrong environment than just individual struggles.We talk about the challenge of slowing down to actually experience joy, the beauty and risk of vulnerability in our relationship with God, and the freedom that comes from processing emotions honestly.If these tensions feel familiar, come and sit with us in this unscripted wrestle.Chapters:0:20 - Introduction1:27 - Black and White Truths3:24 - Travel and Different Perspectives5:21 - Identity and Opinions6:13 - Hopelessness and Purpose7:29 - Mental Health Crisis10:44 - Knowing God and Being Known13:05 - Mindfulness and Grounding17:33 - Relationship with God28:49 - Conclusion✨ Listen to the Full Podcast 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YFuoKTYMYQBkoBqDU6RWX 🍎 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-whole-of-us/id1852384590❤️ Follow Along https://instagram.com/thewholeofushttps://facebook.com/we.are.the.whole.of.ushttps://www.tiktok.com/@thewholeofus🌿 Our Website + Stories 🔗 https://thewholeofus.com/
