TRANSFORMED BY BIRTH PODCAST

4. Transformation as a Revolution with Seane Corn

Transformed podcast

In this episode, Seane and I have a raw conversation about:

  • Vulnerability in the creative process and its role in great change
  • The discovery of ritual & prayer as a conduit for transformation
  • The accountability that comes with privilege
  • Spirituality as an art
  • Soul contracts and becoming a grandparent.

At the end of the episode, Seane leads us through a powerful prayer. We’ve come a long way from when I hired her at YogaWorks 26 years ago!

“I can’t know the light unless I know the shadow. And, I certainly can’t know patience and compassion without also understanding resistance or even judgment. And the more that I can normalize the human experience. That’s when I can develop empathy and empathy is what will change this world.”“- Seane Corn
