Flynn Skidmore

In today’s episode of the Flynn Skidmore podcast, I delve into what we often hide from the world and ourselves—our fears, shames, and those dark corners of our psyche we seldom dare to illuminate. We’re discussing the energy it takes to keep these secrets buried and the transformative power of bringing them to light.

Here’s what you can expect in this episode:

  • I’ll share personal stories, starting with a seemingly small but significant memory from fifth grade involving a rotting apple in my backpack—a metaphor for the things we hide that slowly decay within us.
  • I'll explore deeper patterns of hiding, such as financial disorganization and emotional withdrawal, which have significantly impacted my life and relationships.
  • The conversation will pivot to the broader implications of these hidden issues, examining how they drain our energy and create barriers to our growth and happiness.
  • I’ll propose a shift towards openness and honesty, not just as a practice but as a healing mechanism, discussing how acknowledging our deepest fears and flaws can catalyze change and increase our vitality.
  • Finally, we'll consider the communal impact of personal honesty—how creating a culture that embraces rather than shuns vulnerability could fundamentally alter our collective wellbeing.

Join me as we uncover the hidden, confront the uncomfortable, and learn to harness the liberating power of truth for a fuller, more authentic life.
