“I don’t want to live an unconscious life”.
By Åsa Nilsson | Dec 13, 2024
This episode of the ‘More Moss to the People’ podcast reflects on personal growth, self-discovery, and meaningful living. Sharing my shift from trying to please others to reconnecting with my own voice, inspired by the 2 of Swords Tarot card’s themes of indecision and introspection. Exploring the challenges of ‘doing’ less but wanting more, grappling with unanswered questions, and finding deep gratitude in the work we do.
Key reflections include the importance of minimizing physical and emotional clutter, facing fears of abandonment, and embracing life’s simplicity. I touch back on my experience of ‘having’ the tough conversations, evolving hopes and purposes, and the universal desire to be seen, valued, and heard.
The continual reminder that progress over perfection is what I am working towards and the aspiration to living consciously versus staying asleep is of utmost importance to me.
Enjoy.
