  • Episode 24: Exploring the Four Purusharthas

    What happens after dharma is established? Or does it all come back around at some point?


    Today we explore the four Purusharthas or the "object of human pursuit" found in ancient the Vedic texts. Dharma leads the way as we explore artha (material security), kama (material happiness), and moksha (spiritual liberation). How can these aims lead you to your purpose, and how can your purpose lead you to these aims? Will you let us know in the comments how the Purusharthas are showing up in your life right now?

  • Episode 22: Reevaluating Goals

    As we approach the end of the first month of 2023, we take a look back at what we set out to do at the beginning of it. What goals did you set for yourself, or resolutions even? Did you put steps in place to make them achievable? How is it all going?


    We discuss what being in-process looks like, what we see on social media, how to step back and check-in with what is actually going on instead of seeking outside validation, and the idea of adjusting in the process to do what actually suits you instead of the goal.

  • Episode 21: Is the Wellness World Toxic?

    First, we pause in the question. What do you think?


    We explore definitions of wellness, why we begin the journey in the first place, the fine line of seeking community and losing self agency, and how yoga really isn't for everyone.

    Tune in and let us know your thoughts. Perhaps you have an answer that we don't!

  • Episode 19: Routine and Depth of Commitment

    What happens when you begin to examine new routines alongside your depth of commitment?


    It's the new year and that means new intentions for how we each want to be in this world. Whether it's your word of the year, a resolution, a goal you set, or something you are simply curious about, let's explore what it means to actually stick with it. Let's also look at giving ourselves a little bit of grace as we begin something.

    Did you know? We can decide to commit fully right from the go or we can take it a day at a time. There's no right or wrong, just you figuring our what works for you. Stand firm in your decisions and follow your intuition here.

  • Episode 17: Word of the Year

    Different than a goal or resolution, a word of the year is chosen by how you want to feel. So, what do you want to feel in 2023?

    In this episode, we further discuss what this practice is and where it came from, how to choose one, previous years, and ways to keep it present.

  • Episode 16: What Does Success Look Like To You?

    The end of the year is near, often prompting us to revisit our resolutions. Also, the start of a new year is around the corner potentially inviting us to set new ones! In each process, it is helpful to ask...

    What does success look like? 

    We discuss defining success on your terms, how often times the journey is not so black and white, share some personal examples, a mantra, and more! 

    Listen today and let us know, has this year been "successful"? What does that even mean to you? Do you set New Year's Resolutions? Or no? We'd love to hear!
