In this episode of Conversations for the End, I am joined by friend of the show Emma Smithwick to explore the rich terrain of the psyche, culture, and creativity through a Jungian lens. We discuss how engaging with suffering, paradox, and the parts of ourselves often left unexplored can help us cultivate deeper meaning in life.We dive into topics including Carl Jung, the Kore, intuition, the underworld, death and creativity, and why suffering can be both a privilege and a doorway to personal growth.
