About this episode
What if the answers you’ve been chasing aren’t hiding in more hustle, more data, or another “proven framework” — but in the shadows, symbols, and stories you’ve been trained to dismiss? In this UNCORKED conversation, Tim Windsor muses with Jungian-rooted psychotherapist (and long-time friend) Lenore Walker as they wander into “the third way”, a mysterious and elegant alternative to our usual binary, fix-it-fast approach to life’s messes and clusterfucks. Instead of reaching for the obvious solutions, Lenore invites you into a realm shaped by myth, fairy tale, intuition, dreams, and the kind of waiting that enlarges you, rather than enslaves you. Together, Tim and Lenore explore why our culture worships intellect, speed, and certainty, and how that devotion quietly starves our instinct, emotion, and imagination. They unpack the Indigenous wisdom about not rushing purpose, the power of dreams (including nightmares) as messengers, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes the thing you’re trying to slay is your ally in disguise. Along the way, they weave in wisdom from sacred texts, The Lord of the Rings, Wicked, and the “treasures of the darkness,” challenging you to consider that the most uncommodified, honest path forward might be the one you can’t yet explain, control, or justify on a spreadsheet. Listeners who lean in will discover why obvious options often keep us stuck; they’ll see waiting in an entirely new light, not as weakness, but as the doorway to intuition and genuine wisdom. They’ll reclaim the imaginative, instinctive parts of themselves that modern life suppresses and re-evaluate their perceived flaws or “enemies” as possible guides in disguise.
