Humaning with Rick Watson
oleh Rick Watson
54: Where's your energy going lately? | A coffee catch up
Tentang podcast ini
Humaning is a podcast where we explore the imperfect art of being human. Looking through the lens of a Gestalt therapist, we explore what it actually looks like to get to know ourselves. Some episodes I explore this on my own through through our Good Question series, in others I sit down with someone and hear their story.
Either way, it's unscripted and honest with no polished answers, just the messy and imperfect art of being human... together.
If you're yearning for a bit more depth and clarity in your life, this is a good place to start.
