emperorjames) on The James Xander Trip podcast for a profound exploration of the heart, the nuances of self-love, the truth behind rejection, dropping our masks, and healing from the conditioning that shapes us.
Together, we tackle the tough questions about the nature of emotions, why we often betray ourselves, navigating the emotion of anger, understanding people-pleasing tendencies, how to create alignment in each moment, and staying connected to the Divine.
