In this episode of The Art of Authenticity, Laura sits down with longtime friend Kevin Kaiser for a grounded, unscripted conversation about identity, awareness, and the quiet pull toward truth that many people feel but struggle to name.
A lifelong relationship with inquiry
Kevin shares his lifelong relationship with inquiry, from growing up in an evangelical environment to decades of philosophical study, contemplative practice and direct experience.
“Not enough” and spiritual chasing
Together, they explore why so many of us feel a persistent sense of “not enough,” how spiritual seeking can quietly turn into another form of chasing, and why peak experiences don’t actually solve the question we’re asking.
Stop trying to get somewhere else
The episode moves toward a simple but challenging invitation: stop trying to get somewhere else. Through stories of silence, darkness retreats, identity collapse and everyday life, Kevin points back to one essential inquiry: Who am I? Not as a concept, but as something to be noticed directly.
If you’ve ever felt pulled toward spirituality, purpose or self-understanding but unsure where to begin, this conversation offers a clear place to start.
