About this episode

The episode explores the value of engaging with uncomfortable words and moments for personal growth.

This week’s writings begin with a moment that didn’t fit the way I saw myself. A word offered by someone else. Unexpected. Unwelcome. And, as it turned out, useful. Rather than defending against it, I chose to stay with it—to watch, to question, to see what might be revealed over time. In this Deep Dive, Mira and Orin explore that process from another angle, looking at what becomes possible when we remain with what we’d usually avoid. Listen in.
