In this fascinating interview between Brené Brown and Esther Perel (especially minutes 38-52), Esther suggests, "The opposite of paradox is polarization." They tangentially refer to this idea politically, which is a deep insight into our current state. We live in an "either/or" world when we really could use a "both/and" world.

So often, we project our shadow on another person, not recognizing that there are archetypes that are influencing our behavior. It's tragic how affixed we get to our personality through our unconscious archetypes.

I don't know about you, but wouldn't it be great to have Brené Brown or Esther Perel teaching at MEA one of these days? Better yet, what if we had both!
