Let Yourself be a Paradox
Ever feel like you have two completely different sides of yourself, Asia?
I woke up this morning with a potent mixture of excitement, wistfulness, introspection and giggly humor about how I’m about to spend my birthday this weekend…
This Friday I’m celebrating my 38th birthday and I have a calendar FULL of seemingly contradictory plans.
First, I’m taking the morning to myself. I’m going to put on my tattered old boots, hike up one of my favorite big creeks, hide myself in a nook, and sunbath in holy aloneness. Then, I’ll head to a decadent spa night with my sweetie before stepping into a weekend-long somatic healing shibari workshop, where I’ll be learning how to tie people up with rope in a room full of strangers…then, I’ll be back for a birthday party with my three-year old and all the grandparents.
Sometimes I wonder at all of this…that all these sides of me exist at all, and that they exist inparallel.
But then I realize that this is just the nature of reality…
I’m a paradox.
And so are you, Asia.
And when we can simply embrace the paradoxes that we are—we allow the full flow of our life-force and gifts to arrive to this world.
So, if you are someone who also contains multitudes…then this new podcast is for you.

- Why paradox is the key to understanding spiritual reality
- How embracing paradox expands your consciousness

And thank you for being the paradox that you are.
Because all that energy? Those things that seem big or complicated or in conflict or mysterious within you?
They are what make you so spectacularly unique and deeply needed on this Earth.
Like a moonflower opening at night…who you are makes sense in the deepest, most poetic way.
And what you offer this world, through simply being brave enough to open, is as beautiful as moonlight turning petals into lanterns of light.
