Welcome to another insightful episode of the StreetSmart Wisdom Podcast, where we delve into the depths of the human psyche and explore the potent intertwining of creativity and self-discovery. Today's episode, "Harnessing the Shadow for Creativity and Growth," welcomes two remarkable voices to the conversation.
Our host, Steve Stein, founder of Better Listen and WisdomFeed Plus, joins forces with the esteemed Dr. Ido Cohen, a Bay Area clinical psychologist noted for his expertise in early childhood trauma, depression, and psychospiritual development. Together, they embark on a deep-dive into the rich terrain of Carl Jung's philosophies, shadow work, and the transformative power of imagination. They'll discuss how facing our darker aspects can lead to profound personal changes, as exemplified by narratives of individuals—ranging from musicians to Celtic poets—whose creative pursuits and encounters with their golden shadow have led them to authenticity and unexpected life paths.
The dialogue extends to imagination's pivotal role in both healing and hindering, our tendencies to stagnate in familiar patterns, and the dynamic interplay between analytical reflection and artistic expression. They advise embracing curiosity and self-reflection, possibly through journaling or painting, to engage with our shadows.
Furthermore, Mikey Brackett's contribution raises intriguing notions of the unconscious and shadow's influence, while our speakers touch upon archetypal images found in stories like Harry Potter and Peter Pan, and probe the depth of psychological impacts stemming from collective and personal trauma.
In true StreetSmart spirit, you're invited to contemplate the "trembling child" within and understand the crucial balance between disappointment and creativity necessary for growth. By episode’s end, Dr. Cohen extends an invitation for further connection, and both speakers encourage embracing the wisdom of dreams in the context of world conflict.
We invite you to join this revelatory journey into understanding and integrating the shadow for a richer, more authentic life. And, as always, we're excited to offer you the chance to become a part of the WisdomFeed Plus community, where like-minded individuals come together on a quest for deeper knowledge and fulfillment. Let's begin.

On this episode of StreetSmart Wisdom Podcast, guest Susan Piver discusses the Enneagram and its nine different ways of being. She explains how understanding someone's type can lead to compassion and meeting them where their attention is. The conversation also explores the Enneagram's subtypes and how they impact how individuals perceive situations. The podcast emphasizes the Enneagram as a tool for communication and compassion, rather than labeling individuals. The second half of the episode will focus on the Wisdom Feed's topic of the month and the guest's new book about the Buddhist Enneagram.
Susan Piver is a Buddhist practitioner who has been studying the enneagram for almost 30 years. She believes that the enneagram, which describes nine ways of being in the world, can be used as a school of spiritual wisdom to deepen compassion towards ourselves and others. Susan emphasizes the concept of upaya, skillful means, in Buddhism and believes that the enneagram is one of the most potent upayas to practice compassion. In her view, the enneagram goes beyond being just a personality typing system and can be used to understand and get along with others in profound and direct ways.

On this episode of StreetSmart Wisdom Podcast, we dive deep into the mesmerizing effects of technology on the human brain and the importance of genuine human connection. Our guests, Sherry Turkle and Jon Kabat-Zinn, shed light on the crucial role of mother-baby interactions in relationship development and the formation of synaptic connections in the brain.
We explore the dangers of substituting real human connection with pretend empathy in computer interactions and discuss the urgent need to protect the value of meaningful human connections in today's digital age. Our speakers delve into the practice of mindfulness and living in the present moment as a powerful tool to reduce the addiction and toxicity of digital technology. They emphasize the importance of being mindful, present, and engaged in dialogue rather than engaging in clashes and conflicts through discussions. Through deep listening and inquiry, dialogue leads to the emergence of new ideas and understanding, tapping into a collective intelligence crucial for future progress.
We explore the challenges society faces as digital technology erodes genuine human connection and discuss ways to reclaim conversation and analog beauty to see and honor each other. Our guests stress the necessity of mindfulness and cultivating mutuality in relationships for the overall well-being of society and democracy.
The episode also touches on the transformative power of political activism and the need to reshape governance structures at all levels. We highlight organizations and individuals working to counterbalance the negative effects of digital technology and advocate for educating the next generation to appreciate and balance the digital and analog worlds. Throughout the conversation, we are reminded of humanity's inherent capacity for love, compassion, and empathy, which we believe should be nurtured from early stages of development.
We discuss the importance of activism driven by love and the need for common ground in society. In addition, we explore the impact of technology on various industries, such as Hollywood, where AI threatens job displacement and the potential digitization of actors. The speakers express their disappointment in losing the unique human interaction and improvisation that is essential in acting. Join us as we navigate the convergence of technology and humanity, reevaluate what it means to be human in the 21st century, and contemplate the potential future implications for generations to come. This thought-provoking episode is filled with practical insights and inspiring conversations that will make you reconsider the role of technology in your life and the importance of genuine human connection.

Sharon Salzberg is a renowned meditation teacher and writer who wrote her latest book during the COVID-19 pandemic. She was in Barry, Massachusetts, when the pandemic hit, expecting to stay for only two weeks but ended up living there for eight months due to travel restrictions. During this time, she felt very connected to people's anxiety and unsettledness and taught a lot online. A publisher then asked her to write another book, and she saw an opportunity to write one without the distraction of traveling. The book's main question, "what's still true?", arose from Salzberg's desire to know what was supporting her in these uncertain times. She was also inspired by a YouTube show called Saturday Night Seder, which informed the book's arc.
