We recorded this episode on a park bench in the September sun, with the city buzzing around us and our daughter asleep beside us. Watching the Friday rush, we found ourselves asking a question that has been shaping both of our lives lately: Where am I lying to myself?
It’s not an easy question to ask. The answers often bring grief or discomfort — but also a doorway back into truth. From there, we explored the dance between masculine and feminine in how we create: the push of deadlines and grit, the pull of intuition and flow, and how misalignment shows up in our work, parenting, and everyday choices.
In this conversation, we share about:
• what it feels like to live between the pull of urgency and the longing for presence — and how quickly rush can sneak back in
• the late-night conversation that helped us see where we were out of alignment in our work and life together
• the challenge of creating while honoring motherhood as a season with its own rhythm and limits
• how societal expectations can drown out our intuition — and the courage it takes to listen anyway
• finding balance between structure and flow, and what happens when one overwhelms the other
Finally, we sit with a passage from the Tao Te Ching and wonder: what would it mean to create from this truth — that the good traveler has no fixed plans, the good artist lets intuition lead, and the good scientist frees himself of concepts and remains open to what is?
