Soulcruzer

Join me on a rainy ruck march as I dive into the reasons why we often resist challenging the status quo. I'll be exploring the fears, social conditioning, and societal pressures that hold us back, and I encourage you to question your own comfort zones and embrace the unknown. Get ready for a candid, soul-searching conversation filled with personal reflections and insights, all while I navigate muddy paths and evade barking dogs!

Show Notes:

  • The Comforting Illusion: The status quo as a well-trodden path and the allure of predictability.
  • Fear of the Unknown: How fear of failure, social rejection, and the unknown keep us from change.
  • Social Conditioning: The impact of societal expectations and the pressure to conform.
  • Inertia of Tradition: The weight of history and cultural legacies that bind us to the past.
  • Economic Considerations: The fear of losing financial stability and social standing.
  • The Spark of Discontent: Recognizing the inner voice that calls for change and growth.
  • Stories of Defiance: Examples of historical figures who dared to challenge the norm (Galileo, Rosa Parks, Beat Poets).
  • The Doors of Perception: Embracing uncertainty and the courage to step into the unknown.
  • Forging Your Own Path: The importance of personal values and creating a life that resonates with your aspirations.
  • Questioning the Status Quo: Are you willing to confront your fears and uncover truths to create a meaningful life?

What is Soulcruzer?

The 'Soulcruzer' podcast (more of an audioblog, really).

Expect a blend of mysticism and music, psyche and soul, everyday wisdom, and the esoteric. One day, I might be waxing lyrical about Nietzsche's eternal return, and the next, uncovering the wisdom of the tarot. It's all up for grabs on this pod.

So, if first-person confessional style podcasts are your jam, subscribe to mine wherever you get your podcasts. I'm on all of the major platforms.
