Episode 1: The Dirty Tap Water

Welcome to "Onward and Inward," the podcast where lifelong friends and psychotherapists, Mike and JP, embark on a transformative journey through the profound landscapes of psychology, spirituality, and personal growth. In our inaugural episode, "Dirty Tap Water," we delve into the significance of launching this podcast. Join us as we unravel the value of our shared aspiration to cultivate creativity, authenticity, and vulnerability. We draw inspiration from spiritual awakening, mindfulness, and the profound psychology of Carl Jung, weaving in thoughts from influential thinkers like Sam Harris, Jordan Peterson, Thomas Aquinas, John-Paul II, Lock Kelly, and Richard Roar. Our dialogue explores the intricate connection between spirituality and psychology, highlighting the pivotal role of embodiment in our pursuit of inner balance. Candidly, we discuss our longing to live more freely and authentically, driven by a deep connection to humanity. In this episode, we confront our fears – the fear of curiosity, exploration, and the fear of expressing thoughts that might be met with disagreement. "Dirty Tap Water" serves as our guiding theme, symbolizing our commitment to creating a space where we can freely articulate ideas, allowing us to cleanse ourselves of impurities and uncover the core of our beliefs. "Onward and Inward" is an exploration of experience, an invitation to embrace new ideas, and a celebration of firmly rooted experiences in the exploration of human reality.
