Escaping Oz: A Foundation of Yellow Bricks

Continuing to explore what makes us healed, whole, and home, this episode leans heavily on the story of The Wizard of Oz. Referencing the 1939 film and the 1978 version of The Wiz, discovering “you’ve had everything you needed within you the whole time.” Replacing the cornerstones of dysfunction with a strong foundation - why not build our foundation with yellow bricks like the path to Oz?

In this episode, we question what or who our Wizard is- a boss? a goal? a false belief? With some fun storytelling sharing a time when Hilary goofed up on stage as Dorothy herself, this episode is filled with praise for the arts. The sooner we dismantle the projection of the big all-powerful Wizard, the better. Like the cornerstones of rigidity, silence, denial, and isolation, we are all better when we upgrade our foundations to something more loving, wise, and wonderful. There is no place like home.
