Where the Wind Takes You
or Yurts Near Me
Episode 124 of The Path to Authenticity features part one of a conversation with fine art photographer Safaa Kagan about her new labor of love, which you can learn more about on Instagram. She tells the story of returning to her home in Topanga Canyon after moving her family to Morrocco during the height of the pandemic, and how a yurt she pitched on her property helped her make sense of it all. She calls it her mountain child, which is also the title of a poem she wrote several months before, foreshadowing its story. Safaa is a force of nature. I’m happy to know her and proud to share these conversations with you. Enjoy, and be nice. -tg

The Path to Authenticity is a podcast for people looking for more from life. It focuses on emotional wellness and starts from the premise that our true power comes from our individuality. We talk to various types of writers and artists as well as therapists, coaches, teachers, entrepreneurs, and professionals of all kinds. Our guests possess one common trait. They’re people who know who they are. We talk about what makes them who they are, how they became who they are, and how we might become truer expressions of who we are.
We acknowledge that The Path to Authenticity and its related content are produced on what was the land of the Jaega people, to whom we offer our respect.
