Why do we need to feel special? Why do we feel this need to take ourselves so seriously? In this episode of the chattabox, Nicole Parchani () shares her views on egotism and the tools that have helped her better understand the ego without feeling caged by it. When we talk about the ego, it's usually through a critical lens and rarely is the ego loved for gifting us with a sense of self. The ego is the ultimate tool for self-discovery and allows us to get in touch with our humanity, which is super emotional and complicated. The heart-wrenching process of letting go, acceptance, and profound openness is the path for those looking to make suffering their friend and live a life rooted in faith. We hope that this episode leaves you inspired and hopeful that you are not as broken or as lost as you think, and in fact, you are right where you needed to be all along if only you open yourself to the reality that is and see the perfection in life's imperfections.

it’s been such a packed month for me this month that I decided it’s ok to take a pause with everything going on in my life currently. with that being said, there’s no new episode this week, but rather take this pause as an opportunity to reflect on all of your efforts. give space for yourself to expand into. this practice is all about cultivating balance between rest and effort. can you let yourself surrender and be without the expectations of others?

In this episode of the chattabox, your host Nicole Parchani () shares her perspective on cultivating your inner human. She shares her journey of coming home to herself through the physical body and the various tools that built the foundation of the rituals of her practice. When we come home to ourselves, we begin to unclutter our physical, emotional, and mental space, but how we do this may differ from person to person based on our experiences. Coming home to yourselves is a warrior’s journey and requires patience and understanding. It's a process of awareness and reflection to help you see the world more as it is, rather than as you are. Coming home to yourself is to wake up, instead of staying asleep, but only you can make that choice.
