Join us for a profound exploration into the life and work of Emmy van Deurzen, a revered psychotherapist and author, as she unpacks her personal journey from a war-torn upbringing to a career dedicated to alleviating human suffering. Emmy shares how the hardships faced by her mother during the Second World War shaped her own sense of responsibility and mission. With a deep appreciation for philosophy, especially the teachings of Socrates, Emmy reveals how these intellectual foundations enabled her to transform sensitivity into powerful, purposeful action in the field of psychotherapy.
Discover the transformative power of sharing wisdom and embracing the existential movement in this episode, where we illuminate the importance of dispersing knowledge generously in a world hungry for meaning. By fostering global communities of like-minded individuals, or "sanghas," we envision a gentle revolution that redirects humanity towards authentic values and fulfillment. With optimism, we consider how reconnecting with wisdom can help humanity rediscover its purpose and heal both mentally and spiritually.
We also navigate the terrain of vulnerability and personal growth through adversity. Through a poignant story of resilience, we highlight a pivotal turning point at age 17 that led to a deeper understanding of vulnerability as a source of strength. By engaging with creative expression and community support, we see how adversities can become catalysts for personal renewal and growth. As we conclude, there's a celebration of the courage found in embracing vulnerability and the profound resilience that emerges from life's challenges.

Send us a text Celebrating the 50th episode of Slay Your Dragons with Compassion, I welcome Joel Bravette, a finance professional whose extraordinary life journey defies conventional career patterns. Joel's story begins with early encounters with death and loss that shaped his worldview, leading to a profound philosophy that embraces life's impermanence rather than fearing it. The conversation takes a dramatic turn as Joel reveals how his first entrepreneurial venture—a bar he opened while still a university student—ended in flames when locals petrol bombed the establishment, destroying not just his business but all his personal possessions and childhood mementos. Yet this catastrophic loss became a cornerstone of his resilience rather than a breaking point. What makes Joel's perspective so valuable is his refusal to compartmentalize financial success and community ethics. Through his work with the Vegan Society, Made in Hackney, and The Africa Centre, he demonstrates how community-building and purpose can infuse even the most pragmatic pursuits. Now working in finance, Joel focuses specifically on creating access for traditionally excluded groups, proving that inclusive business practices make both ethical and commercial sense. Joel's "patchwork life"—hairdresser, bar owner, girl band manager, community builder, and now finance professional—represents a refreshing alternative to linear career paths. By maintaining frugality and focusing on experiences rather than material acquisition, he's created the freedom to explore diverse avenues that collectively form a rich tapestry of wisdom. Ready to transform your relationship with loss and setback? Listen as Joel shares how he "corrals the dragon and rides it" rather than being consumed by fear. This conversation will challenge your perspective on what constitutes success and might just inspire you to author your own unique life story. This Podcast is sponsored by Onlinevents…
