In this episode of the Primal Scream podcast, Edi Oz and Courtney Adair discuss deep personal transformation, focusing on pivotal moments of inner conflict and healing. They explore themes of grief, particularly how Courtney processed the death of her father, and how life’s challenges often serve as catalysts for growth. The conversation highlights the journey of embracing one’s inner voice and body, and how breaking free from societal expectations and old narratives can lead to profound self-discovery. Courtney shares her experiences in the world of West Coast Swing, her healing journey through yoga, and her transformative time in the Peruvian jungle. Together, they emphasize the importance of trusting the self, moving beyond “woundology” to find wisdom, and navigating the balance between survival mechanisms and personal evolution. The podcast ends with a reflection on the collective “primal scream” as a metaphor for societal change and awakening.
