I’ve been struggling lately with the term, “expert.” I see a lot of Instagram accounts advertising expertise in areas of relationships, sex, personal growth, spirituality, fitness and nutrition, and even psychedelic-assisted therapies, and I’m struck by some questions.
The Practice of Not knowing
I am most attracted to those people who don’t always “know,” who are curious and open, and not rigid in their thinking, who may have strong opinions, but also value the opinions of others, who are willing to be taught, to accept influence, to broaden their perspectives, while still holding to what feels most true to them.
