Hello everyone, this is Tonya Dawn Recla, your Super Power Expert, and I’m so excited to share with you today a woman who is absolutely near and dear to my heart. I adore her, and I’m so enjoying collaborating with her, and working with her. She is the amazing host of our A Glimpse Inside show. She’s super yummy, and when I let her speak here in a second, if you haven’t listened to our show, which, why you haven’t listened to our show, I have no idea. Go listen to her show, really.
You can go to a Glimpse Inside at superpowerexperts.com, but anyway, I’m going to let her speak here in a second. And we were gabbing the other day, and she and I just had such amazing similarities when it comes to our philosophy on this, our approaches to this work. But the conversation around transparency came forward, because on her show, she does coaching sessions. And sometimes people don’t want to be identified with whatever they’re talking about.
And we really talked about that early on, we advocate for transparency and everything else. And yet, there are moments in this work, where it’s like, that container just has to feel safe. And sometimes being transparent, it doesn’t feel safe.
And I know, so many of you are practitioners in this work, all of you are walking this journey. And this is a real issue. So this battle between privacy and transparency, I mean, you got to know, I’ve got some opinions on this, coming from the counter Intel world, but really, the bulk of my inquiry into it is in this idea of supernatural abilities, and how do we draw boundaries?
And what if we don’t want to share that “private thought,” and do we actually have private thoughts, and all that yummy stuff. So we’re going to dive in today. We’re going to do this in two parts.
Today’s part, we’re going to talk about privacy. Because you know, she and I have learned that, that we just crack worlds pretty rapidly. And so we don’t, if we don’t, we don’t drill down and focus in, then we’re going to be lost. But anyway, right now, please join me in welcoming Wendy Perrotti to the show, the host of A Glimpse Inside, and just a brilliant and amazing and wonderful human being. Hello, my love.
Hi. Yay, I’m so happy to be here again!
I’m so excited to have you here!
Thanks for that, really, so lovely intro, I feel the same way about you.
You know, I feel like I’ve said this to you before, but I love us. We’re great.
Yeah.
We’re having fun.
Yeah.
So I appreciate you joining me today, and while, yes, we love each other, and this is fun, and we collaborate on all kinds of yummy stuff. There are also real issues that we address.
You can’t build these businesses, you can’t do this work, and you can’t support people in this, if you’re not willing to have the difficult conversations. And I know Wendy and I do not necessarily agree completely on our viewpoints around privacy and transparency, but the conversation is so incredibly important.
And so, Wendy, I want to open this up by just saying, let’s encapsulate for me, what, in the privacy landscape. What are you seeing is, are some just major concerns that we’ve got to look at?
Yeah. So that’s an enormous question, and I’m going to try and keep myself… And you are welcome to help focus me, on, really, our goal, of talking about the differences between privacy and transparency, and what that battle is costing people.
In the work that I do, and in part, the work that you do, we’re asking people to be transparent, to open up completely, in order to untangle their world, and in order to move forward in service to themselves, and to the whole, right?
In doing that, they’re making, we’re sort of making a covenant with them, and saying, “You can trust that what you offer here is completely safe. It is completely safe from judgment. It is completely safe from repercussions. This is a place where you can explore your thoughts safely.”
And there are people who have never, who don’t play in the world that you and I have gotten to play in so far, Tonya, who have never experienced a space, where it was okay to share freely what they thought, no matter what it was. That alone requires this covenant, right? It requires this great trust that it’s okay. And then-
I love that depiction of it. Please continue.
Okay. And then there’s this other layer. And I think that that’s where this particular conversation got started, because we had a client who was really concerned about telling their story, and wanted to be anonymous.
When we tell our story, when we share that innermost thinking, it is so intertwined with the world of others, and with our feelings about others, with our experience of others. And while, in a perfect setting and universe, we will all someday elevate to the level of consciousness that we realize. It’s all the same thing in the same place.
But most of us don’t live there. And so, there is this element of, “How can I tell my story, without disrupting the privacy of the people that I care about, or the people that my story is intertwined with?” Right? Isn’t it?
I love that.
