8 - The Need for Guidance

Because this is the first time any of us have lived life, we need guidance to navigate it well. Chip and Bryan discuss our need for guidance, why toxic shame prevents us from admitting this need, and how we can practically find people to help us in the journey.

In this podcast, Chip Dodd and Bryan Barley explore the importance of admitting our neediness and seeking guidance in navigating life's challenges. They discuss how emotional and spiritual needs are just as crucial as biological needs, and how vulnerability and asking for help are essential for personal growth and meaningful relationships. The hosts share personal experiences and insights on finding true mentorship, emphasizing the value of learning from fellow travelers who have faced similar struggles. They also delve into the role of trust and companionship in guiding others through life's "badlands" and helping them discover their purpose.
