Conversations on Healing & Growth

In today's episode, Martin and Ben dive into the value of being present with our deep feelings rather than redirecting or replacing them with cognition or consumption. 

Ben and Martin revisit an early episode from July 2024, No Longer Riding on the Merry-Go-Round, where they provide a fresh perspective on the inner muse and creating a vibrant life in partnership with the world around us. 

In this episode we dramatically explore the inner voices that are expressed as we Heal & Grow. We encourage you, the listener, to find within yourself your version of how these three voices find union in your being. This union of sorts is how we access our own remarkable life. 

Blazing colors countered by the soft patter of falling leaves, the sounds of birds, crickets, squirrels. We feel the cool dry air enter our bodies... we let ourselves feel an entirely different pace of life... Yes, something begins to shift…

In a world of political and social division, driven by the culture of winning and losing, how do we expand the love we share with our communities through a conscious practice with ourselves? How do we bring kindness and simplicity into the conversation and actively create and nurture community?

In a world whirling with superficiality, Ben and Martin discuss the nature of the sacred and how we access it within ourselves and in connection with the world around us. 

In this episode, Ben interviews Zeke Perkins, a labor organizer with an extensive history over the last 15 years in the protest movement. He shares his experience tracking, recording and interacting with Commander Bovino and his 80 U.S. Border Patrol agents as they moved through Chicago as an occupying army on Sunday, September 28th, 2025. 

In this episode, we talk about about storytelling as a healing modality, and how we can embody our biggest story with authenticity.

In this episode, Ben and Martin offer a recipe for cultivating creativity in life by way of the TV show "The Bear".
