EP 38 - High Achievers Unpacked: Fear, Love, Presence & Drive with Candy Ingram with Candy Ingram

This conversation explores the journey of self-awareness, authenticity, and personal growth, emphasiSing open dialogue, reflection, and integration. It touches on frameworks like Crucial Conversations, astrology, and Spiral Dynamics to understand oneself and others, including how consciousness develops through different levels and the shadows present at each stage. A central theme is the interplay of masculinity and femininity, and how rigid, binary thinking around gender roles—particularly within societal and spiritual contexts—can create suffering, limit expression, and trigger deep frustration. The discussion also examines the tension between deep thinking and action, the pitfalls of performative spirituality, and the liberation that comes from embracing vulnerability, being seen, and prioritising authenticity over validation. Ultimately, it underscores that growth is a daily practice of small, courageous steps toward alignment, connection, and integrated understanding of both self and others.
