I think one of the things that anybody who talked to you would want to know is to hear about these experiences with the various spiritual teachers that you've met, and I'd be curious in what are some of the major ones that stick out to you?
Have you ever wondered how to bring more authenticity into your life? Tami Simon, founder of Sounds True, has been exploring this question for decades. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Tami about what truly matters in work, life, and love. Tami, who started Sounds True at just 22, has built a career around disseminating spiritual wisdom and fostering conscious business practices.
She shares her journey and the lessons she's learned from interviewing leading spiritual teachers on her podcast, 'Insights at the Edge'. The conversation kicks off with the familiar parable of the two wolves, which symbolizes the choices we make every day between our better and lesser selves. Tami delves into how this parable has shaped her understanding of personal growth and spiritual development.
She also talks about her new audiobook, 'Being True: What Matters Most in Work, Life, and Love', and what it means to her. One of the standout moments is Tami's discussion on balancing acceptance of the present moment with the drive to achieve our goals. She offers practical advice on how to listen to our bodies' feedback and recognize the signs that we might be out of alignment with our true selves.
Tami's insights are not just theoretical; they are grounded in her own experiences and struggles, making them relatable and actionable. Eric wraps up the episode with a compelling question about Tami's encounters with various spiritual teachers, prompting her to share some profound reflections.
