Ep. 2 // Ego
Welcome back to the Ramble On Show! We dive straight into conversation with a throwback to our AIM/Myspace days, share our latest google searches, and get to the good stuff - processing through Ego. We welcome you as we take off our masks, reflect, and navigate these questions:
How am I showing up in the world in this season?
How do I want to show up in the world?
What’s one small step I can take to get to the way I want to show up?
(Examples: journaling and getting out thoughts, going for a run to relieve stress, creating space for friendships, trusting yourself, etc.)
