My message revolves around DEEP INTEGRITY. I believe humans are designed to be much more than rational beings mechanically optimizing life for efficiency. We are emotional beings, co-creating the physical reality based on our deep desires. We are spiritual beings experiencing physical and non-physical world through our own unique points of perception, facilitating the collective learning process. Working with WHAT IS, is my passion. Because looking into the face of what is takes COURAGE. The BOLD Perspectives podcast is focused on practical advice and personal inquiry about holistic human topics like emotional intelligence, authenticity, creativity, relationship & community, healthy use of technology and more.

Don’t Try to Get Rid of Coping Mechanisms

Sunday Jun 22, 2025
We all have coping mechanisms to deal with stress or difficult feelings — whether it’s drinking, overeating, or scrolling through social media. Once we realize that coping only soothes the symptoms and doesn’t fix the root problem, it can feel tempting to try and get rid of coping altogether. But the truth is, coping mechanisms are part of being human — and they always have been. In this episode, we explore the difference between healthy and unhealthy coping, and share a simple exercise that can help shift unhelpful patterns and bring us back to a more embodied, connected way of living.
