448: Identity and Integrity

About this episode

The episode explores identity and integrity through conversation, reflection, and community engagement.

Identity, integrity, and how we come to understand ourselves through attention, discernment, reflection and relationship. Drawing on Parker Palmer’s The Courage to Teach, Justin and Lizzie talk about the life-giving values of curiosity, seeing one another, and the possibilities that arise when we create opportunities for us all to express and inquire into our inner lives together with honesty, courage, wonder and care.
