In this episode of Candid Conversations, we explore a powerful and often overlooked pattern that shows up in religion, society, and our personal lives: expansion and contraction.Throughout history, humanity’s understanding of God, faith, and meaning has expanded—then narrowed—only to expand again. We see it in religion, we see it in cultural movements, and we see it in every human life stage. Growth always comes with discomfort, fear, and resistance… especially when our nervous systems are wired for the familiar.This conversation looks at:

• Why major belief systems become restrictive before they expand
• How deconstruction mirrors historical awakenings like the Enlightenment
• Why uncertainty feels threatening to our nervous system
• How personal growth follows the same uncomfortable pattern
• Why collective change has to feel chaotic before things improve
