23 - Trust the Process (Part 1)

In Episode 23 of "Living with Heart," hosts Dr. Chip Dodd and Bryan Barley discuss the tension between societal expectations and personal authenticity, sharing personal stories of their own journeys. They highlight the importance of embracing emotions and vulnerability to achieve true fulfillment. Chip recounts feeling the need to switch career paths and the eventual realization of needing emotional and spiritual healing, while Bryan reflects on the societal pressures surrounding success. Together, they emphasize trusting the process, the role of God's kindness, and the importance of acknowledging inherent worth and emotional needs.
