Vegan Fail || Aaron Wayne Podcast 21

“The risk of being changed is one of the most frightening prospects most of us can face.”

-J. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life

The challenges we face in life show us the places we’re resisting change.

In this podcast, Aaron discusses the value of putting ourselves in spaces that challenge our identity and precepts. If we can accept change, we can realize that further depths of freedom. With our reflective practices, we can notice that social situations evoke reactions out of us. Those reactions show us the places that we are not yet free; for most people this is the identity that we grip onto. For Aaron on a recent trip, it was having to adapt a vegan diet to a vegetarian diet because of access to plant-based food.

Aaron also discusses recent travels and the challenges of returning to a social life after being vaccinated, how schools should be thinking about the 2021-2022 school year, ways to practice letting go of expectations, and more.
