I named my ego Barbara, and the other day I had a moment where I was triggered and I was going to respond a little passive aggressively, and I said to myself, Alright Barb, sit down, I’ve got this.😂 My higher, authentic self would not want to respond in such a manner, but I know Barbara wants to keep me safe.
I named my ego Cruella! It's been about a year since I began the journey of ego observation. I have to send the most sincere gratitude to you two!! The work you are doing has changed my life. Your offerings have been some of the most empowering I've encountered! Thank you, thank you, thank you beautiful beings! 🙏🏼🪷
This episode is on replay as I journal, brush my teeth, each time it’s new and me who knows it. Love this work and constructing newness is life changing ❤❤❤❤
Gonna name my ego Stallone, because it’s so darn Sly. Excited to explore the ego further with these episodes as it is critical on my journey to understand the role of the ego and to observe it accordingly. Thank you as always for these important conversations and your continuing work to help us heal and grow. Love and light ❤
I believe much positive and negative can ripple from our ego...positive success in how well you are in a profession or specialty is boosted by confidence and at the same time if not maintained with an open mind to other's ideas the ego can turn on us with controlling co- dependency issues that counter what good the ego delivered...staying open to others and their ideas seems key
Am finally in this space where I can attempt to be kinder to myself. I couldn't until now. This is sad but there's literally nothing to do about it except focus on the road ahead. It is always so lovely to listen to you Jenna ❤ not only about the topic at hand, but your experience. So much that resonates with me when you share of your experience, even though our lives couldn't be more different.
Ego, such a massive topic! Just even understanding what it is or even that it exists is difficult. Thank you both for always sharing so openly and honestly, with authenticity. Keeping it as clear as possible with an inherent depth also. Another brilliant episode. 🙏
I found this illuminating and very actionable. Thank you! I’m considering naming my ego…not yet sure that’s for me. This episode left me wondering if in your understanding, our shadow is part of our ego. I’m not yet familiar enough with your work. I have a request. I would love it if you took one (or two ) of the exercises from the workbook, and did a whole episode going deeply into it. You two ladies bring a beautiful harmony of objective, keen, witnessing observation combined with compassionate accepting, wise, love. Great insight and healing results. I would love to see this in action, going deeply into one exercise. Your work delves into age old universal realities, yet you bring a unique, fresh, authentic understanding of them, with new words, new images, new practices, discovered thru your hard won experience. I love that! Thank you, and blessings to you!
I named my ego Grievance because she is so aggrieved. I made sure to differentiate between actual grievances and the stuff she comes up with every day that can be let go. "Thank you, Grievance, we good!"
So glad this was resonant for you, Shawna! Thanks so much for joining this conversation. Lovely to meet your ego: Leslie! Appreciate you contributing here ❤️
Here is topic I would y’all to talk about: I always look for comfort outside of myself, how can I find comfort within myself instead of looking for it externally?
I asked the question before you addressed it :-). So kind of what I’m hearing is that yes we need these measures, however, our society has been exaggeratedly built around them to the point of not incorporating intuition whatsoever and that is a needed component. To incorporate intuition and the sentient beings that we are.
i love the cat -- it/she/he/they is so cuteee, my ego name is Daniel hahha. I LOVE ur videos!! this is healthy critcal thinking!!! thank u so much for this
Loving the ego name- hello Daniel! Thanks for sharing, James. Yes to normalizing healthy critical thinking. So grateful for your presence and connection here. ❤️
This topic is so important for people to realize our adaptations and that we are not our true selves many times the day. Really appreciate the topic! Great episode! It was exactly what I was looking for! I have heard Mr Gabo Mate talking about the defensive egoic mind. And today both of you addressed it so well!! When I saw the title clicked it immediately! Because it's a part of who believe we are. So many people I can see around me, including myself react from the ego self. When i take things personally i say oh now the ego got activated. But I feel bad about it and trying to apologize and explain myself coz I feel bad about it. I don't have a name. I call it ego. And it feels somehow separate. Is that okay or it needs more separation? The naming feels a bit strange to me. Because it is still a part of me acting from this mind structure. But I will give it a try. Also Jenna, I hope you are doing fine because I can hear or feel maybe your voice a bit tired or sad. hope is not from crying or anything but from ice cream eating 😊 With good intentions, just a feeling because I have been listening you from the beginning almost. Hope you are doing well 🙏💛
my Ego is doing its best to survive and it's really trying v hard - so i really am grateful, so i probably won't name it smth mean 😂 i'll think of smth. It's trying so hard to look/be unbothered, uninjured and intelligent, and someone fun/interesting to be around. Nth immoral about those choices i guess, but yes it is important to be aware when im doing smth to be seen a particular way. I like reading/writing and it made me comfortable with words, but it also made my self-talk v articulate and precise in its dismissiveness and cruelty. I appear not to go on and on like given as an example in the video...but my self-talk patterns mirrors the short, dismissive impatient indifference i was met with for most of my childhood. That angers me, because nobody deserves to be treated that way, and i wouldn't have chosen this pattern for how i react to my own imperfections. The adults who failed me taught me that. It doesn't feel fair that im the one now having to undo their mistakes. But that is fact. And in the end i'll much rather trust me to undo it than any of them. Thank you for all the hard work and compassion that went into this series! I got the dishes and vegetable-washing done while listening.

That’s a great point about the natural world not having an ego.

My egos name is Corey. At my
Core I am me, and sometimes I say “hello Corey and I am
Not you “ and it’s such a giggle

This is such difficult work for me. I just named my ego. I take it as a positive move forward.

This episode is helping me navigate my breakup currently. A lot of acceptance and shifts that heart breaks evolution
I named my ego Regina.. she's fearless,confident, mischievous and bold. Lol
There are so many nuances in our existence as people, is there nothing good or bad, right or wrong when we explore these nuances?
