    The Future is Behind You & Other Ways of Looking at Time
    Mar 3 2024

    Time is money, right? Only if you make it so. Time is something we use to make sense of change and chaos. Listen to this episode to learn more about how research defines different ways to orient oneself toward time. This episode includes some meaningful self-reflection on your own relationship with time and steps on changing it, if you'd like.

  • Transformation Together: Leander & Stas

    Transformation Together: Leander & Stas
    Oct 5 2023

    Conversations with people in our lives tend to shape what we think more than what we read, watch or even write about. That’s because, as social creatures, we need to learn from and with other people. This episode features a conversation with my friends, Leander Roth and Stas Schmiedt, who have worked on building wellness in their partnership in life and business for over a decade. Listen in as we discuss concepts and lived experiences of time, partnership, family and hope using decolonized understandings.

  • The Ocean of You

    The Ocean of You
    Sep 18 2023
    Who you are is something you know but may not be able to define fully, ever. That's because who you are comes from an ocean of experience and emotion that has been evolving since your first breath. Who you are is founded on real values, fears and things like faith that come from this changing ocean. This episode explores how judgement, the kind we place on others and ourselves, affects the ocean of you which in turn impacts who you are and how you show up in the world. As always, we share resources that can help. Here are the links we mention in the episode and a few we don't we thought might be useful:“The Myth of Sysiphus” by Albert Camus with commentary from the University of Hawaii: https://www2.hawaii.edu/~freeman/courses/phil360/16.%20Myth%20of%20Sisyphus.pdf “Where Does Self-Judgment Come From?” by Lea Seigen Shinraku from the San Francisco Center for Self-Compassion (no date): https://www.sfcenterforselfcompassion.com/blogposts/where-does-self-judgment-come-from “Judgment Call: Maturity, Emotions and the Teenage Brain” from a 2015 University of Wisconsin-Madison article: https://parenthetical.wisc.edu/2015/03/23/judgment-call-maturity-emotions-and-the-teenage-brain/ “How to Stop Judging Others” by Kier Brady from the Kier Brady Counseling Group (no date): https://keirbradycounseling.com/how-to-stop-judging-others/ The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz: https://www.miguelruiz.com/the-four-agreements Non-judgment: What is it and Why Does it Matter?
