Living in the Question: How Embracing Uncertainty Deepens Relationships & Fosters Growth with TJ Woodward

In a world where division and uncertainty are prevalent, the need for genuine connection has never been more critical. But how can we remain connected when opinions diverge and times are unpredictable? The answer lies in cultivating curiosity by "Living in the question," according to TJ Woodward. TJ is a bestselling author, inspirational speaker, and revolutionary recovery expert who has helped countless people through his simple yet powerful teachings. He's a featured thought leader on WholeHearted.org along with Brené Brown, Marianne Williamson, Dr. Gabor Maté, and Mark Lundholm, as well as a featured thought leader in the docuseries, "Addiction Revealed." Ordained by Michael himself, TJ is also the founder of Agape Bay Area in Oakland, the first satellite community of The Agape International Spiritual Center. During Michael's and TJ's conversation, they cover: -TJ's childhood joy, then early trauma, followed by substance use, and his first steps toward sobriety and spiritual awakening -How recovery and New Thought teachings helped TJ shed false beliefs and return to his essence -What 'Living in the Question' means, and how curiosity expands awareness while judgment restricts it -The importance of open-ended questions as tools for spiritual growth and social harmony -How over-identifying with diagnoses or labels reinforces dis-ease vs. focusing on what's working and feeling the energy shift -Creating space for healers to experience healing themselves, avoiding burnout, and the "fixer" mentality -Why true compassion emerges from insight, not from reactive behavior -How neuroplasticity and epigenetics confirm what mystics have always known: consciousness shifts physiology and thought patterns reshape the brain and gene expression, and more! Next, Michael leads a meditation with the intention of waking up to our Real nature.
