Episode 364 with Guy Ferdman & Ilan Ferdman
In this episode 308 of the Old Souls & Seekers podcast, Guy and Ilan dive into the heart of healing by exploring the intersection of self-awareness, authenticity, and the nervous system. They begin with a guided centering exercise, setting a tone of presence and spaciousness. The conversation moves quickly to challenging societal ideas like what it means to be “selfish” and how owning our inner truth and being seen without judgment can transform our lives.
In Today's Episode:

Ilan shares a personal story of being seen without judgment—and how that one experience rewired his nervous system. - Redefining Selfishness
Exploring why caring for your own needs isn’t selfish at all, but the key to being more generous and available for others. - One Action From Alignment
Guy reminds us that taking countless steps from dysregulation changes little, but one aligned action can shift everything.
Action has energy. One action from alignment can change your whole world.
