Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to Get to Know You! I’m your host, Tiffeny Farag, and I’m so glad you’re here with me today. I’ve got an incredibly thoughtful and inspiring guest joining us Hector Marcel (IG @wakeupist), President and lead teacher of Three Jewels Enlightenment Studio in New York City, a place dedicated to helping people reach their highest potential through meditation, community, and ancient wisdom applied to modern life.  Today we’re diving into a topic that touches every part of our human experience: how identity is shaped in every interaction we have, and how our sense of belonging ultimately extends to the whole of humanity, not as isolated individuals, but as interconnected beings learning from one another. Through the lens of spiritual practice, Buddhist philosophy, and lived experience, Hector helps us explore the ways our identities evolve through connection, and why belonging is something deeper than any one group or place.  So get comfy, grab your tea or coffee, and let’s explore with curiosity and heart.

Send us Fan Mail  We’re kicking off a brand new season — and celebrating 5 years of Get to Know You! Five years of opening up conversations that matter, and what better way to begin this milestone season than with a deeply human question:  How do we stay connected to ourselves when trauma has tried to disconnect us?  In this heartfelt first episode, we explore the quiet yet powerful concept of interoception — our ability to sense and interpret the internal signals of our bodies. Trauma often shakes this connection, leaving us feeling lost within ourselves. But reconnection is possible — gentle, gradual, and transformative.  This episode invites you into a reflective and compassionate space to explore what it means to return to yourself. Whether you’re healing, supporting others, or simply curious about the body-mind relationship, there’s something here for you.  Thank you for 5 years of listening, growing, and sharing. Here’s to continuing the conversation — together.  Support the show

Drawing from Robert Greene's insights in "The Laws of Human Nature," Sam emphasized that character is the essence of a person, deeply rooted and reflected in their consistent behavior patterns. We’ll explore how finding people with a strong, adaptable, and self-aware character is far more valuable than superficial charm or charisma.

Understanding these characteristics can help us navigate relationships more effectively and avoid potential pitfalls. Jenny raised an important question about improving self-awareness. We'll delve into practical steps and strategies to help ourselves and others become more self-aware, fostering personal growth and deeper connections.
