Jennifer Pastiloff spent the first part of her life thinking she was a bad person because of something she told her father before he died when she was just eight. She moved in and out of depression and tried to control what happened in her life with her eating. At the same time, without letting anyone know, she was also losing her hearing. Through her yoga practice and writing she began to face these challenges, redefine her own life and explore what it means to be human. She shared her experiences in a real and vulnerable way publicly on Facebook and in her online magazine The Manifest Station. She began teaching and leading retreats called On Being Human. And she has written a book, also called, On Being Human in which she shares her own triumphantly messy story. In this interview, we talk about: - How to quiet our Inner Asshole - What are the bullshit stories we tell ourselves and how we rewrite them - How our bodies carry our stories - What is listening hard - How we let go of what no longer serves us so we can be where we actually want to be
