About this episode

The episode discusses the differences between community and village, emphasizing the benefits of embracing uniqueness and tapping into diverse perspectives.

Not long ago, I would have said yes, assuming that "village" and "community" were interchangeable terms. I didn't understand the differences, which left little room to appreciate them. What I had was a community, not a village. I'm not passing judgment against a community. I still very much thrive here. But Michael and Molly taught me the advantages of the village, and my mind was opened.

It's a range that encompasses so much more than just likeness, but uniqueness. And it's here that we have the power to really lean and benefit from the wisdom of those who aren't just like us. In this podcast, I talk with Michale Chatham and Molly Peralta, as we discuss the difference between community and village and how this can help you uncover your uniqueness and understand who you are and why you are here. We also discuss how to tap into the story you live, birth new creativity, and break rapport with common "health" stories and illusions we often refer to.
