My Story.
1978. Born to Jewish atheists and raised in Boulder, Colorado.
Clueless, numb, generally unaware.
Go through the motions of life. Over-achieve.
2000. Blindly follow path and become television producer.
Imposter stuff. Something is missing inside, but no ideas.
Try therapy. Meh.
Assume this is what life feels like.
2007. 30 approaches. Who am I. What am I doing. Find my way to Esalen. The stirring of awakening.
