inner conflict and taking sides

MATTHIAS BARKER
About this episode

In this episode, I am joined by one of my mentors, Jim McNeish. This is a much more personal conversation, as it much more closely resembles one of our mentorship sessions. We talk about my experience with quickly gaining a large platform and navigating the complexities that come with that, my thoughts on taking political positions as a therapist on public platforms, inner conflict, and what to do with parts of your personality that you don't like.

I am very grateful to have Jim as a mentor of mine, I hope you enjoy our conversation!

Learn more about Jim at neish.co, you can also find him on Instagram @nei5h. 

This is the video Jim suggests starting with!
