*THIS IS AN AUDIO ONLY EPISODE* (Sorry - the camera died)This episode is part of a new series where we answer your questions.Today's question:"I don’t think I have a ‘deep self.’ Everyone always says, ‘go inward,’ but I’m like… to what? It’s just noise in there. Is that normal? What do you do when there’s no essence to find?"For this episode, Lora and Jeff dive into the experience of searching for a "deep self" and only finding noise. We explore what essence might really mean - and how the language around it doesn't always land for everyone. From neurodivergent perspectives to moments of flow and everyday presence, we unpack different way of experiencing the self without forcing it or shaming yourself for not feeling it right away. We discuss:Why “go inward” isn’t always the most helpful cueHow essence can show up in flow states, memory, and everyday presenceThe role of language and neurodivergence in shaping inner experienceWhy resistance deserves curiosity, not pressureCommunity, teachers, and patience as antidotes to pop-psychology shortcutsWant to join the conversation?
