Do you ever feel like you have this nagging voice that tells you that you are not enough or that there isn't enough in the world today? Well, you are not alone. I wanted to create a podcast that explores this very idea of fear and scarcity. It dominates our lives, yet rarely is talked about. It is a lens that convinces us that we are all alone, cut off, separate from everyone and everything. When just the opposite is true. My hope is that this podcast will be a heartfelt, honest, and playful ...

#021 - All of us have this inner playfulness or creativity that we often hesitate sharing with the world out of fear that it won't be good enough or that we're the only ones that love being goofy and fun when no one is watching. What if that gift is something you are destined to share with the world? We often have this fear of being seen for the ve…

#020 - Our imagination and creativity is a funny thing. It's hard to explain where it comes from or when we find ourselves in that state of "flow", but we all know what it's like to be there. Often times we will give ourselves permission to play and then pull back because we're scared it might not be good enough or afraid of putting it out there in…

#019 - Spring is here and often is a nice change from the colder season of winter where we tend to conserve our energy and try to stay warm! For many of us, it's a chance to get outside more and spend time in nature. It's also Easter weekend which is celebrated worldwide from eggs and a hopping bunny to meditating on the reality of death and rebirt…

#018 - Recovering who we really are can often be a metaphor for the journey of the soul. Faith traditions might call it enlightenment, self realization or salvation. Psychologists might call it the work of individuation or integration. No matter the language or words we use to describe it, it is ultimately about a series of small steps. We so often…

#017 - Life is hard and being human isn't always a joy ride. It is often times filled with suffering, not having the answers, and wondering if there is a purpose in what often times feels like a world filled with pain and disorder.

#016 - It’s hard not to feel the chaos that makes us believe our world is spinning out of control. Often times we feel powerless to do anything about it because the problems appear to be so overwhelming. On today's show, we'll ask the question, “What does it look like to find peace in the eye of the storm?” We’ll explore a range of topics including…

#015 - Thoughts. We all got them. And LOTS of them! All of us have a flurry of chatter or activity that flutters through our mind each and every day, yet often times we are only conscious of even a small number of them. There is no shortage of both self-help and spiritual traditions that teach us that we are not our thoughts, yet not attaching to t…

#014 - All of us carry hurt and pain. Experiences that often times leave us feeling vulnerable and afraid. Whether it is through conditioning or our culture, we are told that the way through that suffering is by holding it all in. Which leads to living in a reality that isn't real at all, but a fragment of the way we were meant be both in relations…

#013 - It's hard to say how or when we begin to disconnect from our bodies, but no doubt it is an epidemic that millions of people suffer from. Often times we are not even aware it has happened until we begin to experience physical or emotional pain. Perhaps this is more of a Western phenomenon or the result of living in a technological age, but we…

#012 - Much of life is learning how to dance. We are in relationship to almost everything and everyone in ways we often might not see or understand at the time. This includes our relationship with Grace and Truth. The need to extend compassion and kindness while also being honest with ourselves and others isn't always an easy thing to practice. And…

#010 - Have you ever wondered if it's okay to hope? We often think of it as wishing for something to go our way, but that's not the truest definition of what hope really is. This week we spoke with Dr. Julia Mossbridge and Dr. Michael Sapiro on this subject of resilience and what does it mean to know that we are okay even when everything around us …

#009 - We are often conditioned to believe that there aren't choices or that there is only one "right" answer.

#008 - All of us have seeds of doubt that many times we are not even aware of. Doubt is often viewed as a defect or something we shouldn't have, even though all of us experience it on a daily basis. What if there was actually a purpose to it? On this week's episode, we'll unpack a bit more how doubt can actually point us to a deeper and more ground…

#007 - Everyone wants connection. Yet it's the very thing that can seem elusive in a world where we are more "connected" than ever. On this week's podcast, we're exploring the topic of vulnerability. Of what does it mean to really allow others to see more of who we are and inviting others in. It's both exhilarating and terrifying. Yet somehow, deep…

#006 - Loss is something that we often times encounter on an every day basis.

#005 - The topic of death isn't something we're always comfortable talking about. Like many things in life, it's easy to push it aside and even deny its existence. But perhaps there is a strange freedom, that the more we grow in accepting our own mortality, the more we are able to be all of who we really are. Not to mention learning to be present w…

#003 - We often times think of an adventure as something that is outside of us, that we have to do all by ourselves. If we do muster up the courage, we frequently get bogged down trying to get it "right" which leads to giving up or not taking that first step at all. What if there's an alternative? An adventure that is waiting for each of us that we…
