Susan Piver is our first guest for good reason. Her sublime wisdom blooms in the moment, but so do unscripted perspectives, reflections, and deep belly laughs. Sure, Susan has written 9 books and teaches more than 30,000 people to meditate each week through her Open Heart Project. But she's also one of the most human spiritual teachers I've met. She embodies each of the 3 Permissions we explore on This Epic Life Podcast (To Chill, To Feel All the Feels, and To Glow in the Dark).
Susan and I go deep on how the 3 Permissions mirror the path of the Buddha, and of full self-expression— by discovering one's self, accepting self, and ultimately Being one's true self. We also share many laughs along the way. Like that time I had a shirt made that read: "Trying to Impress Susan Piver."
Susan's greatest gift as a teacher to so many, is that she is an eternal student. Our conversation will reignite your dedication to your relationships: with your significant other, your spiritual practice, and ultimately yourself. We discuss her leadership around some painful accusations that were brought to light in the Shambala community. We also dig into the creative process around her books and programs, her love of the film 40 Year Old Virgin, and how to be a true meditation teacher (when everyone seems to be calling themselves a teacher.)
