© 2024 Undimmed, a ClearLife Podcast
Description
Undimmed is about living a clear life, a life without dimmers, things we consume or do to ease discomfort, silence intuition, or simply soften the edges of the day-to-day experience of being human. Dimmers can include unhealthy or escapist relationships with all kinds of things, such as alcohol, work, perfectionism, spending, sex, food, even generosity. Undimmed is about tuning into our truest selves, making choices for positive change, and reclaiming power, agency, and freedom from unwanted habits. Host Cecily Mak, a former Silicon Valley executive, is joined in conversation with known and lesser-known people who are all here to share their journeys to a clearer life.
