What We Judge

When I am sharply judgmental of any other person, it's because I sense or see reflected in them some aspect of myself that I don't want to acknowledge. - Gabor Maté, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts In this episode, we explore judgment and discernment and how that can support your ITC journey. Judgment is outward-focused: it is about what other people do, say, or think.

Our Relationship with Screen Time

We have all experienced a physiological reaction when we hear our phone ding, our kids ask to watch a show or feel like we've misplaced our beloved device. It's because our world circles around screens and they have snuck into every way of our being. If we don't learn how to work with it and find a healthy balance, it will overload our dopamine systems to wanting more and more with no end in sight.
