This week I have interviewed creative performance coach, author & host of the Creative Status podcast, Oli Anderson. Oli helps people find ‘realness’ in their life by deconstructing the ego & integrating the shadow self. Oli shares his journey with us & the lessons learned as he hit ‘rock bottom’ in his life and went through his awakening process.I admire Oli’s unique perspective on spiritual & psychological theories that ultimately help us humans live a life filled with more fulfilment & joy by allowing in less BS and aligning more with our true nature. He makes what could be relatively complicated, relatable and easy to understand. All BS is left at the door as we enjoy a candid & interesting conversation!What we cover:How to live a ‘real’ life vs an ‘unreal’ oneHow social conditioning is holding you backOli’s own journey to ‘realness’The spiritual wake up callHitting rock bottom to finding wholenessHow your creativity can help you!The importance of making the unconscious consciousThe snake of Kundalini and Oli’s personal experienceLetting go of control and learning to trust lifeWhat to do when you don’t know what to doThe principles of awareness, acceptance & actionI hope Oli’s journey and this conversation inspires you to embrace your entire journey and live a life aligned with your truth!You can also listen to us in our first conversation on Oli’s podcast here - Creative Status: Episode 55: Roseanna Croft: Filling the Void with DevotionThank you for listening.
