Episode 14: 3 Steps to Dissolving Fear - Why Matter Floats in Love

Описание: This episode of Between Beats captures Jeff and Carissa navigating the "messy middle" of a growth journey—dealing with physical colds, car troubles, and the psychological weight of ancestral guilt, all while coming back to the fundamental practice of The Pause.

Episode Summary
The core of this week’s discussion centers on Authenticity vs. Performance. Carissa reflects on a week of "throat chakra" healing, realizing that much of her previous communication was a "performer" or "explainer" persona rather than her true self. Jeff shares a story about the van breaking down, proving he’s moved past his "obsessive fixer" ego by choosing to stay calm, surrender to the situation, and call for help rather than fighting "what is."

Key Highlights:

Dissolving Fear: Carissa outlines three truths to dissolve fear:

Pausing: Realizing knee-jerk reactions are illusions.

Unconditional Love: Treating yourself as the main character of your journey.

Matter floats in Love: Understanding that everything physical is temporary and held together by an underlying energy of love.

The Van Breakdown: Jeff’s breakthrough in surrendering control. Instead of a 2-hour meltdown, he called a tow truck and enjoyed the novelty of the experience with "Little Man."

Visibility and Social Pressure: A discussion on the "Visibility Wound"—the fear and pressure felt when becoming a creator and being seen by people from the past.

Choosing Love for Yourself: Carissa addresses the guilt she feels regarding family estrangement, concluding that choosing love for yourself is not a betrayal of others, but a necessity for your own health and your immediate family's stability.

The "John Mackey & Deborah Moran" North Star: The hosts credit their philosophy to the School of Greatness episode featuring the Whole Foods founder and his wife, emphasizing their mantra: "Choose love in the next moment."
