Ep. 057 - Shadows and the Gifts they Hide

It’s the season of giving—and forgiving! Before the Well Being crew heads into winter break, they’re gifting you some festive Sparks of Inspiration to deck your creative halls. Then, we’re dashing through the snow (or something like that) into this week’s shadow work, where the focus is on forgiving oneself. It’s a journey that shakes us to the core, like a certain Dickensian miser learning the true meaning of Christmas. Of course, no episode is complete without our campaign chaos! This week, we’ve got clown lawyers, high-stakes interrogations, and all the world-building whimsy you could wish for. We’ll be taking a break next week for Christmas, so cozy up, hit play, and join us for a merry and introspective adventure!   Theme by Affektiv https://open.spotify.com/artist/2dkwCQLY61JvqMmiiBvps3?si=N97bAnDqQkqcSSxVZA0C0Q https://soundcloud.com/affektiv Email us: [email protected] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WellBeingpod  

What’s got you fired up? This week, we’re stoking the flames of creativity, kicking things off with sparks of inspiration to get those brain juices flowing. Whether it’s a wacky idea, a brilliant epiphany, or just a random thought that won’t leave you alone, we’re here to celebrate it all. Then, we dive headfirst into the depths of shadow work, flipping through the Shadow Work Workbook to confront the emotions we’d rather leave in the dark. (Spoiler: it’s not always anger... or is it?) But wait, there’s more! Over in the campaign, things get very intense as Kelliot takes the hot seat in session 13’s interrogation showdown. Secrets are spilled, tempers flare, and someone (maybe everyone?) learns a thing or two about themselves. If you’re ready for a wild ride of introspection, creativity, and in-game drama, this episode has it all. Let’s get into it!

Buckle up—it’s deep, it’s funny, and it’s everything you love about Well Being!

The episode of Well Being titled Confrontational Collective delves into the nuanced world of confrontation and personal growth. Theo, Andy, and Kel start off with a light-hearted catch-up, sharing recent sparks of inspiration, before shifting into deep discussions on the discomforts and growth potential of confrontation. They explore how we often avoid conflict in personal spaces, yet tackle it head-on in professional settings, dissecting the shadow material that comes up when we face (or flee from) conflict. In their discussion, they relate real-life anecdotes, from roommate disputes over dishes to handling workplace challenges, illustrating the ways unresolved issues can subtly undermine our mental health and relationships. With humor and introspection, they invite listeners to reconsider confrontation—not as an evil but as a path toward clarity and stronger connections.   Theme by Affektiv https://open.spotify.com/artist/2dkwCQLY61JvqMmiiBvps3?si=N97bAnDqQkqcSSxVZA0C0Q https://soundcloud.com/affektiv Email us: [email protected] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WellBeingpod
