Episode 698: Self-Expression Is a Health Practice

There is a particular kind of aliveness that comes from doing something that is completely, authentically yours.

Not a template. Not someone else's version of how it should be done. Not a performance calibrated to someone else's expectations. Yours.

In this episode I make the case that accessing that aliveness is not a luxury. It is a health practice. I share the contrast between what it has felt like to deliver work to someone else's template versus what it feels like right now, approaching a speaking engagement in Nashville that could not feel more fully mine. The physiological difference between performing and expressing is real. And building a life with more of the latter is one of the most health-promoting investments available.
