  • 034 // Being a Human in Process Part 2

    We’re picking up where we left off talking about being a “human in process.” In part two of this conversation, we breakdown an example of allowing experience to be our teacher and the profound impact it has when we do so - contributing to living a purposeful life, nurturing our natural intelligence and committing to being in process so we bloom in our authentic purpose, relax into and embrace where we are in process, and "walk each other home."

    We start by looking at an example of how these experiences serve as our teachers when we allow them to be (00:48), having these opportunities every day to practice (12:42). By doing so, we allow them to contribute to our process, purpose, and freedom (14:21) and be grateful for them all (25:44). Which, feeds the conditions for our natural intelligence to grow us (29:08) by committing to being in process (33:33). Ultimately, empowering us to relax into being in process and lean into the truth that “we’re all just walking each other home” (34:58). Then we breathe into taking it easy on ourselves - being patient and embracing the season of our lives, knowing the truth that everything is always changing (36:19) and the importance of sticking with our practices for our well-being and wakefulness through every season (39:46). Finally, we discuss bringing playfulness into the process when we get caught up (42:22) and giving up the need for the process to come to fruition (44:21).

  • 034 // Being a Human in Process Part 1

    We’re talking about embracing the journey and truth of being a “human in process.” In part one of this conversation, we discuss what it means and looks like to be a human in process, an inner journey and one we take together - embracing a curiosity to learn all we do not know from every experience and honouring our innate inner wisdom and completeness while doing so and exploring the ways we’ve been taught that contradicts our worthiness and authenticity.

    We start the conversation discussing the Sanskrit word ‘satsang’ and the link between caring about justice in the world and doing the inner work to live consciously and be peace - there’s no better time than now. To introduce the topic, we sink into a brief meditation on “being in process” (04:08) explore the metaphor of a tattoo sleeve as being in process (5:37), and what it means to be in process (09:09). We discuss embracing “I know I know nothing” - all leading us back to authenticity and living consciously (19:19). Then we visit the internalized sense of not being enough and where that comes from (23:23). Through our example of internalizing systems of oppression, we discuss the role of sober curiosity and reforming our relationship with substances for clarity, meeting our needs, and authenticity (33:18). Finally leading us to the understanding that everything we need is already within us (42:08) and we are alone together on this journey in process (43:22), with our life experience being our greatest teacher (45:22).

    Spread peace by donating to support Ukraine Crisis Relief 🇺🇦


    We start this conversation by acknowledging the confusion and powerlessness we feel right now (00:50) and why the practices we’ll introduce are essential for us to do in times like these (02:35). We start with naming what we’re feeling and sitting with this discomfort (04:50) and what that looks like in practice (05:51). Diving into those actions we can take, obviously we start with donating (10:09) and going beyond donations when we think that’s the only thing we can do (10:55). I share two examples (11:59) of how moments like these wake us up to feel what really matters, our everyday blessings (14:09), and bring us face to face with our interconnection (14:45). We let this crisis affect, change, and transform us so it’s not completely in vain (21:27) - we be more courageous (25:14), compassionate (30:03), and spend our money aligned with our deepest values (34:33). Then we discuss (36:49) and practice Tonglen meditation (37:46) as a way to take suffering and transform it to relief. We highlight the importance of moving from sympathy to empathy and how to to that (47:18). We discuss how, like peace, nonviolence begins with us and how to practice nonviolence (48:38). Finally we briefly touch on how we can be freedom (57:06).

  • 032 // Embodying Love Part 2

    We’re talking about love - what is genuine love, self-love, love as a practice, and so much more. Centered around the understanding that our love for ourselves shapes our capacity to love others, we explore how we can embody love from our limitless internal source of love that is our innate ability to love unconditionally. Dive into this juicy episode or jump around the episode (we added timestamps below) to learn how to experience more love by connecting to and embodying love from within. After breaking down our ideas and beliefs around love in Part 1, Part 2 dives into the four key aspects of genuine love and how to practice each beginning with ourselves.

    We dive deep into those four aspects of true love (02:08): loving-kindness (02:24), compassion (05:32), joy (09:05), and equanimity (13:43). Bringing us to defining unconditional love (16:05), which is empowered by these aspects - allowing our love to be healing, transformative, returning to our True Nature, and deeply meaningful (17:19). We then explore love’s ability to return us to our True Nature deeper through The Symposium and Socrates’ definition of the purpose of love compared to another idea of love that shapes our modern conception of love (20:06). Wrapping up the discussion, we concur that love is a practice (29:06), it starts with ourselves, it empowers our conscious living and meaning, and ways to practice each of the four aspects of true love (32:35). Finally, we discover how our ability to love ourselves directly feeds world peace (44:01).

Dive into this juicy episode or jump around the episode (we added timestamps below) to learn how to experience more love by connecting to and embodying love from within. Part 1 helps us understand our ideas of love so we can rebuild them for holistic, unconditional, embodied love from within in Part 2.


    We kick off the conversation with a side note about the struggles of winter (00:24) and solutions to winter blues (02:20) while highlighting the importance of winter (05:06) before introducing the topic of “Embodying Love” (06:10). First taking inventory of the images and ideas we have when it comes to love (06:38) before breaking down our ideas of love as external and internal (07:29). Then we explore our struggle to love ourselves (and others) unconditionally as it relates to our models of love, intergenerational and personal experiences of trauma (08:25) and limits our experience of love from within (23:48). So where do we start - at the foundation, our love for ourselves (25:24) and by reestablishing our understanding of what love is (27:07). We introduce the four aspects of true love (27:45) and a few more elements of love through two books (29:49).

  • 028 // Herbalism with Caitlin Duquette

    We’re talking all things plants and herbalism in this fertile conversation; Caitlin expands our perspective and understanding as we discuss and deconstruct preconceived ideas of herbalism, how second nature herbalism truly is to us as creatures of the earth, its role in our personal and collective well-being, ancestral healing and her home, Hawai’i, and building her intentional community-empowering business, Bloodroot Apothecary. 
    An afterwards from Lydia: I'd like to say, as a result of this conversation and continuing to educate myself, I feel it is no longer appropriate for me to have Hawai'i on my list of possible places to move at this time (as I mentioned at the beginning of the episode). There are many ways those of us who feel the call to Hawai'i can honour it (like bringing Hawai'i to them with Caitlin's herbs) while honouring and supporting native Hawaiians in their fight for justice, autonomy, and their rights to their lands.

  • 027 // Keeping an Open Heart

    We’re talking about keeping an open heart - why it’s so important to be openhearted and how keeping an open heart deeply, profoundly, and positively shapes and impacts our lives, our understanding, and our relationships with ourselves and one another.
