Episode 3096:

Dr. Kelly Flanagan's insightful piece, "An Invitation to Dance Like No One is Watching," explores the complex relationship with our egos through the lens of personal and familial experiences, particularly inspired by the book "Wonder." Flanagan delves into how our egos serve as both a protective armor in youth and a barrier to genuine connection, urging readers to embrace vulnerability and the beauty of our true selves beneath the facade.

Quotes to ponder:

"The ugliest thing in a person is ultimately essential to preserving the beautiful thing we are becoming."
