Unabridged You
Greetings and welcome to Unabridged You, the podcast that holds space for you to be you. We’re not focused on societal roles or job titles; instead, we explore your unique stories, experiences, life lessons, and passions that contribute to the unabridged version of you.
Each week, we sit with remarkable individuals from diverse backgrounds. Guests include storytellers, artists, adventurers, environmental activists, and community builders — people who have carved their own paths in life.
In a world where we often feel compelled to prioritize certain aspects of ourselves over others, Unabridged You was created to honor your genuine self and acknowledge your many dimensions. Through these conversations, we also explore how living more authentically can support resilience, wellbeing, and mental health.

Finding Purpose and Making Meaning: A Further Conversation with Edward Haarmans
In the previous episode we spoke with Edward about Resilience, Parenting, Happiness and Values. We shared a formula for happiness: When what you personally feel, think, say and do are in harmony. All the ideas discussed here were more directed toward the individual and their growth.
In this episode, Edward joins us again, and we take the conversation from that focus on the individual to more of a focus on the community. We talk about the Global Happiness Scale and ideas around how once a person takes the time to consciously figure out their current purpose (with the idea that this is not a fixed destination) it can contribute positively to their communities.
A key takeaway from this episode is that this journey in life is not about figuring out the meaning of life, but how you want to give meaning to your life.
