They both value a balanced, authentic connection in relationships, where individuals are self-aware and willing to express a full range of emotions.

The conversation shifts to the importance of boundaries, as Hannah shares a past experience of a friendship that ended due to a lack of boundaries.

Finally, Scottie and Hannah discuss the importance of self-awareness and personal responsibility in relationships. They agree that acknowledging one's flaws, taking responsibility for actions, and showing up as one's authentic self are crucial for healthy interactions.

In this heartfelt and thought-provoking episode, Hannah and Scottie dive into Mary Oliver’s poem “Wild Geese,” using it as a springboard for a rich conversation on authenticity, emotional well-being, and the human desire to be “good.” Scottie reflects on the poem’s alignment with his coaching philosophy—encouraging self-acceptance and letting go of unnecessary suffering—while Hannah connects deeply with its message of honoring the body and its desires.

The discussion moves into the complex terrain of morality, where they unpack the difference between internal intention and external perception. Drawing from personal experiences, including Hannah’s Catholic upbringing, they explore how societal pressure to be seen as “good” can lead to guilt and self-doubt.

Themes of selflessness and motivation emerge as they examine helping others—not from obligation, but from a grounded, generous place. Scottie emphasizes showing up fully, even in the face of resistance, while Hannah acknowledges the emotional toll of overextending without boundaries.

The conversation also explores suffering and its perceived role in growth. They challenge the notion that enduring pain is inherently virtuous or spiritually rewarding, questioning whether this belief is more cultural than essential. The idea of secondary gain in suffering surfaces, as does the call for greater self-awareness and embodied practices like meditation to shift patterns.

The episode concludes with reflections on emotional health and parenting, highlighting the importance of modeling self-love and resilience. Scottie shares insights from recent travels and the solitude that brought clarity to her relationships and values. Through it all, Hannah and Scottie hold space for complexity, grace, and the radical act of choosing joy over suffering.
