UNFILTERED: Life & Awakening Podcast

Hello and Welcome to the UNFILTERED podcast on all topics of Life, Love, Awakening, and Spirituality!

If you find yourself on a journey, seeking answers to larger questions, or simply find yourself in a confused state of being, this podcast might be right for you.

We started this podcast while being on our own journey of self discovery, awakening, and possibly just simple growth into adult maturity, with the hope that it can act as a catalyst both for ourselves in our progress and also for our listeners to start seeing the commonality between our lives, the journey of self, and awakening as a journey to self love, happiness, and simple knowing.

We take on various topics, including relationships, parenting, spirituality, religion, soul self, trauma, depression, sadness, happiness, and love, all in line with our journey of progression, actualizing, and knowing. With all discussions in mind, our goal is to always frame the podcast to offer more insight into self overcoming obstacles, finding center, grounding, and allowing our true nature to grow and expand.

We hope hearing our own amazing struggles, confusions, revelations, and discoveries of self will help you gain a personal perspective on your own being, open your mind to larger strokes of the universe, and see your life as an amazing canvas of love.

Thank you for being here, taking part in our journey, and being on yours!

Always with Love, Tanya & Elliott

Episode 070: Gabor Maté Theory

January 21, 2025

Hello and Welcome to Episode 70 of the UNFILTERED: Life & Awakening Podcast.

In this episode we continue to discuss the process of integration, self acceptance, awakening and healing with discussion of Gabor Mate’s theory on childhood development, trauma, and healing.

We introduce the episode by discussing this general concept to healing and trauma process and how these ideas fit into the concepts of acceptance, awakening, and the subject of our podcast.

We discuss the pitfalls of self we design to keep us from seeing the truth into our deep sense of self that keep us away from addressing the trauma on the journey of our life.

We discuss the stigma and societal norms of being open, vulnerable, and open-hearted toward self and self-acceptance and how this narrative keeps us from achieving full healing and self awakening.

We bring in our personal examples of escapism, narrative creation, and avoidance and the process of self that is necessary to facilitate true change, the commitment to overcoming self programming and avoidance.

We discuss the pitfalls and the easy ways we can get lost in our choices and the commitment it takes to see through our being and find a way to heal without running.

Ultimately, we suggest an easy approach to healing through offering of self love to our broken child of self and the acceptance of being this process can bring if we are ready and wanting to see self from a true integrated point of self.

As always, hope you enjoy listening, find this helpful and see your own path to self awakening as we go on the journey of ours.

With Love, Tanya & Elliott
