Why Do The Work? With Juli Rush

Juli Rush has done the work. In this episode, Ryan and Marijke interview Juli about why anyone would want to go through deconstruction, anyway. What benefit is there to such hard work? Juli is a school director, a mother, wife, a personal friend of Ryan's. Through her story, we hear the joys and challenges of learning to think and see in new ways - with honesty, humor, and grace. 

• Juli shares her personal story of deconstruction and reconstruction
• She talks about the real losses and gains of this work
• We discuss the impact it has on relationships
• And the practices and supports she found helpful on the journey
• We ask Juli, "why is it important to do this work?"

If you're wondering why in the world you would interrogate your ways of thinking and believing, this is a good one for you. The work can be scary and alienating, but for many of us it leads to a truer self and a more workable life. There are also practices and supports that can help, including safe community, mentors, therapy, coaching, good reading, solitude, and journaling... to name a few!
