A road map. So let's make a road map for everyone including ourselves so we know where we're going… I think we have an idea of where we're going, but you never know. We get good ideas. We get suggestions. We stop and think about things. It's…a collaboration." By Jaye McElroy and Leta Herman | Follow: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram In this Pod's conversation, we talked about:

Thought Quotes: "We are on this energetic road trip together. We're kind of road tripping it here. We're going on new roads and finding new ways to get to where we want to go." "What is self-cultivation from the Daoist perspective? This podcast can motivate and self-empower you with the goal of living a happier, authentic, more fulfilled life." "Alchemy is about parting the veil and choosing to walk the Alchemy road. It's choosing to take your attention away from your current life and start to pay attention to yourself, what you want, and where you want to go with this life. It's about willing to think deeply about who you are and what you want." "People get stuck on the hamster wheel, and they forget what it's like to have their own thoughts and their own emotions. They need to start thinking about themselves and their own minds." Links in this Episode:
