CONNECTED - Roundtable #2 - Greetings From Around the World - How we connect and see each other




Our Friendly World with Fawn and Matt show

Summary: This Roundtable we discuss all the beautiful and the variety of greetings from around the world. We ask the questions we normally ask in our culture like “How are you” and go deep into the answers we tend to get like “Fine”, which in some circles actually means Freaked-out Insecure Neurotic and Emotional. Why do we ask blank questions and expect a blank response? Do we really care? Is it just noise? Are we truly aware of how we are feeling and how others are feeling? Are we ignoring clues and signs that someone really needs us? How can we be better? How can we be authentically open and kind? How can we change the cultural norms that have become so automatic and without insight and create a more present relationship with those around us?   TRANSCRIPT: [00:00:00] Fawn: [00:00:00] Welcome dear friend welcome to our round table. This is connected. We are interconnected. Thank you for joining us. We are a table of friends and we're all interconnected. We are connected  here to create an awareness of the family that we truly are.  KJ: [00:00:18] Hi everybody. , I'm KJ. I've met some of you before. I've hung out with Fawn and Matt on a couple of occasions and it was probably the most fun of my life. And so I'm so pleased to be here today. I'm chatting with our friends at this round table. , the discussions that we can come up with when we're not hitting record are fantastic. So it's pretty wonderful that we're hitting record and  letting folks in to the fun that we're having. So a little about me, I'm a licensed psychotherapist and I have had a lifelong obsession with a couple of things. One of them being words and definitions and another [00:01:00] being cheese. And so we could talk about cheese and words at length at another time. possibly cheesy words (KJ's podcast: Stories of Astonishing Light with KJ Nasru‪l), Fawn: [00:01:06], grilled, grilled cheese sandwiches. KJ: [00:01:10] That's right. That's right. I have. Perfect. Well, I'll be so bold to say that I've gotten very, very good at making grilled cheese sandwiches. And so we can definitely chat about that. Fawn: [00:01:21] comfort food, KJ: [00:01:22] yeah. So in my, in my, in my spare time, Fawn: [00:01:26] spare KJ: [00:01:27] time. Okay. So in my spare time, I , I do a podcast called stories of astonishing light and that. Is a space a lot like this in which I exchanged stories with healers and artists and musicians and, , visionaries about the stories that we know, the stories that are about us, the stories that we see. Fawn: [00:01:52] We're so happy to have you all of you. And I think it's going to be,  like musical chairs because there's a group of us, a group [00:02:00] of friends, and we're here as family, your family, our friends listening, you are family. And I'm so excited. And I say musical chairs because there are some other people that want to come talk with us and have a seat at our round table. So stay tuned folks because every week we're going to have even more amazingness coming up. Brooke: [00:02:22] Well, I don't know how I follow that, but I'm going to give it a shot, uh, between KJ and Fawn and Matt. , they're all just amazing people. My name's Brooke Voris and I'm a certified wedding planner. But more than that, I've come to realize that I needed to find a way to give back to our community. And I felt like this was one of the most amazing ways to do that because my podcast "Cheers to You with  Brooke Voris" , brought me to Matt and Fawn. ,  it brought me to realize how many different people that are in the [00:03:00] world and how many different ways that we impact those people every day.
