Martha Beck on Living Your Truth, Exploring Secret Yearnings, & Finding Strength in Surrender
TUNE IN TO THE EPISODE:
Have you ever felt like you’re walking a path that’s leading you further and further away from the person you were meant to be? Or that you’re living someone else’s life, speaking words that find no echo in your soul, doing things that feel like a betrayal of your deepest beliefs?
Living a life of integrity is no easy task especially considering we’re all conditioned to follow rules, accept ideas and opinions without question, and generally shrink ourselves to fit the space deemed acceptable for us based on our gender, colour, social status, education, and even religion. Regardless of how difficult it may be, the path of integrity is the only one that can bring you true joy, contentment, and growth. Fortunately, Martha Beck has made the process easier by writing a book that very gently guides you to realising and then living your truth.
In Episode #30 of Beyond The Goals, I talk to Martha about her book, The Way of Integrity and how it can help us find true purpose and authenticity, and in doing so heal the dysfunction in our life.
