Finding Treasures in the Trash - New Big Things

Finding Treasures in the Trash has always lived between what we hide and what saves us, and this moment marks its most honest turning point yet. Cari Jacobs-Crovetto shares why the show is stepping out on its own and moving to the newly formed Magic Thread Media, a network devoted to weaving conscious voices into business, creativity, and spiritual life. As she reflects on the early episodes, Cari names the deeper work that has quietly emerged: inner truth work. She explores how anxiety, shadow, and disowned parts of ourselves become survival strategies, why truth often freezes in time, and how unexamined insight can slip into self-justification and managed presence.

This episode grounds the future of the Finding Treasures in the Trash podcast in coherence and congruence, where nothing essential is pushed away and nothing is performed. This evolution invites you into a deeper relationship with yourself, where the treasure is found only by staying with what once felt unbearable.

Key Takeaways:

1. Truth Can’t Be Reached Through Performance – Learn why looking good, being right, and staying safe block real self-truth.
2. Shadow Is Adapted Truth – See how shadow reflects parts of you that learned to survive, not parts that are broken.
3. Why Truth Freezes in Time – Understand how safety, shame, and belonging force parts of us underground.
4. When Insight Turns Performative – Learn how values and spirituality lose depth when disowned parts stay hidden.
5. Coherence and Congruence – Discover the difference between looking aligned and actually being whole.
6. Why Trust Frays in Relationships – See how self-betrayal quietly erodes trust long before words do.
