Curious Brainfarts

This week we are chowing down on some humble pie as we consider all things humility.

This inner state that is authentic, clear and grounded.

Not needing validation or an ego stroke. Not humble bragging, or self deprecating.

Why? Because you know you are enough, just as you are. Not perfect, but honest and clear. Sounds great doesn't it?

Here's to authentic humility.

We do this a lot. All the time. There are so many ways of communicating, but we don't seem to have become more skilled at it.

This is a deep one, lots of layers.

Culture, language, context, intent, verbal, non-verbal, silence, energy. Everything is a communication of some sort or another.

In the end, if we listen with our heart not just our ears, things will probably be a lot better!

If you'd like to communicate with us about anything, please get in touch: [email protected]

Best wishes and kindest regards.

Turns out alignment is more than just the wheels of your car.

And it shouldn't be taken for granted. Alignment at one moment in time isn't a guarantee that it'll stay that way.

Checking the alignment, paying it some attention and giving it some focus is vital. Otherwise a surprise (and not all unexpected outcomes are brilliant) is absolutely in the post.

Lou gives us a veg update before aligning herself with the floor.

Paul aligns his dinner plans with the contents of the fridge.

We trust that aligns with your expectations.

Whether you like going abroad, staying at home, seeing the sights or relaxing to the max, there are as many ways of going on holiday as there are people.

We agreed that for us, it's about who you're with. If that's right, you could be having fish and chips in the rain with a leaky tent and it wouldn't matter.

Where would you love to go? What experiences do you want to have?

Also ice cream. That's crucial and no holiday is complete without it.

After some faffing with the RTG, and finding out Alex's pin number, it spat out Camping. Turns out we had a fair bit to say about it #You'reWelcome

Anyhew, what would an episode about camping be if it wasn't for some jolly tales of yaw and yonder.

We've absolutely loved having Alex come along and joining in with the randomness. Let us know if you'd like to hear more from him!

If you'd like to get involved by sending us a topic or nominating yourself as a super fan, drop us an email to [email protected].

Welcome to the first episode in our Superfan Series, featuring the fragrant and absolutely delightful Alex Stillman. We felt it was time to add some additional brainfarts from our lush audience, so we hope you enjoy.

Money. A necessary evil or freedom?

A form of energy that you can magnetise?

The root of all evil?

Well it turns out there are lots of perspectives on money, and that it has been around in the form of coins since 640BC. So a ruddy long time.

What's your relationship like with money? Your money mindset?

TRIGGER WARNING!

Here we chat about triggers, what they are, how they get activated, and crucially how to cope when that happens.

It's not easy, and all triggers are rooted in our past experience.

Get in touch with us if you'd like to suggest a topic for us to get curious about: [email protected]

Vulnerability. Our soft underbelly. We talk about whether this is at the heart of human connection and why. The cultural landscape that tells us it's dangerous and weak and leaves you exposed. There's a lot going on.

Let us know what you think, and any topic you want us to chat about by getting in touch [email protected]

The debate we had about debating is, without fear of contradiction, an absolute cracker.

From very structured debates with rules, opposing sides and persuasive rhetoric, to the rather less structured internal free for all that sometimes represents our inner debate club.

We talk about it all, so if you're curious about a debate that isn't polarising and doesn't need you to do anything other than listen, then tune in!

Of course we're on about the largest town in England with a thriving shopping centre, many pubs and canal running through it.

Or are we.....? After doing some reading on Reading we realised that what we read was not so much about reading as it was Reading so we moved swiftly on!

Read with your ears as you tuck into this wondering conversation, covering many bases, about reading. Before you listen, how many types of reading do you think there are?
