Embracing Change
Maya and Jordan discuss the pain and complexity of change, particularly in relation to relinquishing certain identities. They explore the human desire to attach ourselves to identity and how it can be both irresistible and challenging when things are taken away from us. Maya shares her experience of losing the violin and how it taught her that falling in love with something and deep diving into it is not the problem, but rather how we navigate change and loss of identity.In this clip
