  6. 195: …But Why?

    As humans, many times we think about the “what” or “how” first instead of really taking a step back and clarifying our “why”. Understanding our why before everything can provide a lot of clarity — and save us from unwanted outcomes.

  7. 194: It’s Ok to Not Do The Thing.

    Let’s face it: we tie our productivity to our worth. In society, if you’re not DOING, you can be viewed as lazy, unfocused, and undeserving.

    Sometimes, we find that the message becomes even more relevant with time.

  12. 189: Alignment, First.

    Death is uncomfortable. Who seriously wants to talk about it? But it’s a part of life.

    It’s the key to moving forward, even during the times you don’t feel like it.

  18. 183: It’s the Balance for Me.

    Black, white. Hot, cold. Negative, positive. Life is ALL about balance. When we’re balanced, we’re in alignment with life. This episode asks us to truly inquire, “How balanced am I, and how can I bring more balance into my life?”

  19. 182: Looking Through The Lens of Vulnerability

    On a scale from 1-10, how vulnerable were you yesterday? Last week? Did you make it a priority to be “real” or were you concerned with keeping up appearances?
