This week, we’re going to dive into the most common insecurities that keep us from letting go of our beloved STUFF and declutter our physical space and minds. I’ll talk about my own experiences and insecurities when it comes to getting rid of things – despite my years of work on trying to let go of attachments to it all. Plus, we’ll talk about some ways we can reframe our thoughts around our possessions, keeping only those items that bring us true joy and freedom.

In this week’s Episode we jam on a daily practice we can do to decrease unnecessary suffering – which is what this podcast is all about! It’s completely natural that things end – relationships, careers, objects we adore, and more. Yet we have so much resistance when things do come to an end, often feeling like it wasn’t supposed to happen. We’ll talk about the concept of “little deaths” that we experience in everyday life, plus the difference between when an ending is more easily accepted vs when we have more resistance.

This week is a Greatest Hits throwback to one of my fave topics: death and impermanence! We’re gonna jam on why we often avoid thinking about death… and what acknowledging it can teach us about living now. I’ll also open up about one of my own biggest regrets in life and how it pushed me to create the life I wanted and live in integrity.

This week we talk about why we feel obligated to finish everything we start – even if we’re miserable in it. Careers, relationships, even small things like movies and a bad meal. Often it’s because we think changing our minds equals failure or some sort, but there are many others I’ll
cover in this episode. I also share how we can make every choice worth it… even when that
means walking away from something we’ve put a lot of time, money, and energy into.
This week we dive into the concept of Self-like parts – those parts of us that SEEM like well-intentioned, wise, compassionate parts of us, but that ultimately still feed the immature ego and false sense of self. We also explore the concept of Self in Internal Family Systems and how Buddhist philosophy can help us know when we’re driven by our True Self vs our Self-like parts.

In this episode, we talk about our (very) human need to have healing move quickly… and how any person who has suffered and made a lot of progress can tell you that it takes patience and time. We’ll talk about how to hold realistic expectations for any “quick-fix” approaches you may try and the dangers of a quick-fix mindset. I’ll also give you some great ways we can all work to cultivate that necessary patience!

In this week’s episode, we talk about the culture of BIG manifestation, and how it can turn toxic. We’ll look at the importance of finding and accepting our own “enough” and how to sit in the moment and be present with the preciousness of life, exactly as it is right now. Plus, I’ll reveal an essential step to taking effective, healing action in these times – for ourselves AND our more-than-human world (hint – it’s not hustling or burning out on activism).
Continue readingFirst, know that this episode is for people of all ages, because we are all elders to someone (there are always people younger than us!) and we are constantly having opportunities for growth in our spiritual maturity throughout our entire life.
The concepts I introduce in this episode help shape how we age and the choices we make at all stages of life. Too often we believe that as we age, we should try to look, feel, and act as young as possible. But the truth is, that’s not the freaking point.
We discuss a world where elders are seen as wisdom keepers, guides, and mentors for the community. Where they possess a deep knowledge and understanding that is invaluable to younger generations.
This won’t just happen. We need to see this as our role to our people, and make our life decisions from that place. Instead of just sitting around and saving money to retire and travel, we can make our spiritual growth and maturity more intentional.
We’ll jam on how we can continue to challenge the idea that aging is a period of decline, and talk about a few of the elders that I personally look up to and respect.

This week is a very special episode to help us continue to reduce the unnecessary suffering in our own lives – and in the lives of those we love. We’re going to talk about something we all find difficult in our relationships: the radical acceptance of other people’s shit. I’m going to share my own personal struggles with this and give you some ways that you can learn to accept how others act in a way that will bring you more compassion, love, and alignment.
