--In this episode, we challenge one of the most pervasive illusions—the idea that we need to invest in thoughts to secure a sense of self-worth. By embracing a state of "mental homelessness," we unlock the freedom to experience life without the burden of fixed narratives or societal expectations. We explore the trap of constantly seeking validation from beliefs, and how this chase leaves us disconnected from the present moment. By letting go of the urge to define ourselves, we find true freedom in fluidity and adaptability. Join us as we break down the mental walls we've built and realize that being mentally homeless is the key to living authentically. This conversation dives into the illusion of control, societal conditioning, and the deep satisfaction that comes from embracing uncertainty.
