In this episode, host Rob Pene sits down with Kimber Hardick to discuss the powerful journey of ”unraveling” societal constructs to find one's true identity. After navigating a divorce in her 50s and battling a Lupus diagnosis, Kimber shares how she moved from a life of performance and people-pleasing to one of embodiment and empowerment.
They discuss the role of plant medicine in her healing, the importance of rewriting old victim narratives, and how she is redefining what it means to age by learning to surf and moving to Panama.
Key Takeaways & Highlights
- The ”Unraveling” of Identity: Kimber describes her last year as a ”continuing unraveling of remembering who I am and forgetting who I learned to be”. She discusses the difference between ”mind-knowing” and ”body-knowing”.
- Breaking the Drama Triangle: Kimber explains the ”Drama Triangle” (Victim, Hero/Helper, Villain) and how we often ping between these roles in relationships. She shares how she used ChatGPT to help rewrite her personal stories from a place of empowerment rather than victimhood.
- Healing Lupus & The Role of Emotion: Diagnosed with Lupus three years ago, Kimber was told by a doctor that the emotion behind the disease was guilt. Through emotional work and plant medicine (specifically Iboga and Ayahuasca), she reports no longer having Lupus markers or needing medication.
- Redefining Aging: Now living in a surf community in Panama, Kimber challenges the stigmas of aging. She emphasizes that getting older doesn't mean fading away, evidenced by her learning to surf in her 60s.
- The Mirror of Judgment: A profound realization Kimber shares is that self-judgment is often a reflection of our external judgment of others.
