Safely Shallow or Dangerously Deep? | Mi...

iHeartPodcasts and Reasoned Choice
About this episode

NLP Fam: Meet us in our Frantz Fanon because it’s giving a major philosophical pod! Some of us may be experiencing a heat wave this week, but today’s conversation about the shallow end and the deep end is only metaphorically related to a pool: Is it safer, in life and in relationships with others, to go deep or to stay shallow?

In this week’s MiniPod, hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum unpack the many sides of that question and discuss how depth can be both intellectual and emotional, and how perceived shallowness can sometimes be deceptively deep.

We all choose the moments where we reveal our depth to others, or even to ourselves. How do we make those choices?

Welcome home y’all!
