Episode 4 - Refusal of the Call: Avoidance ain’t always a good idea

About this Episode

Shamash and Calvin embark on the next leg of the Hero's Journey, facing their first challenge: do they heed the call to adventure, or ignore it?

In this episode:

  • Dr Mehwish Sharif explains how we build our reality through our experiences, judgements, and filters.

  • Therapist Mari Williams delves into the unconscious mind, how it can protect us, and how guilt can get in the way

  • Dr Vikki Barnes describes the positive approach she takes with her clients, to help them achieve better outcomes.

  • Social entrepreneur Kush Kanodia helps us reframe challenges as puzzles to be solved.

  • Dr Wendy Molefi shows us what can happen if we don't take time to decompress, or spend time enjoying the little things.

Read the Serenity Prayer quoted by Shamash.
