S8 E4: A Deeper Connection with Our Dogs and Ourselves

Grace Chon is an acclaimed photographer and author, former art director in the advertising industry, podcast host, and is on a journey to help people recognize and appreciate that natural world through consciousness, creativity, and connection.

In this episode, Alexis and Jerry come together with Grace to discuss the way in which we perceive and connect with our inner nature, as well as with animals. Grace shares her personal journey of tuning into her authentic and genuine nature that led to a life path of pursuing her curiosity and deepest values and interests.

We discuss the parallels to the therapeutic process Gerald sees in his patients as well as the self-awareness Alexis fosters in her clients as an educational therapist. Grace shares the pre-verbal connection we have with animals and pets, especially with dogs, and the way in which we can learn unconditional love with dogs in a way we may struggle to access with other human beings.

Summary:

• The journey of going inward toward discovering one’s authentic self
• The idea of inner coherence and how we interact with life
• The meaning of unconditional love shared by dogs
• The way in which we can attune with our dogs
• The value of being open and curious while still grounded
