Reclaiming Authenticity

Teresa & Tom Shantz
About this episode

Send us a text

Teresa and Tom explore the perceptions and beliefs that others have about us, particularly in the spiritual realm. The hosts share their personal experiences of being misunderstood and judged by others based on their spiritual practices. They discuss the importance of discernment and fact-finding when forming opinions about others. 

The conversation also touches on the balance between intellect and feeling, the influence of religious backgrounds on beliefs, and the need for authenticity and self-acceptance. The hosts emphasize the importance of finding what works for oneself and being open to different interpretations and perspectives.
Key points:

  • Perceptions and beliefs that others have about us can be influenced by their own concepts and experiences.
  • It is important to discern and fact-find before forming opinions about others.
  • Balancing intellect and feeling is crucial for understanding and growth.
  • Religious backgrounds can shape beliefs and interpretations of spirituality.
  • Authenticity and self-acceptance are key to living in alignment with one's true self.
  • Finding what works for oneself is essential, as "There is truth in all things, but not one thing has all the truth."
