This is Currently Untitled, hosted by Scott Concinnity, Ryan Burels, and Noelle Smithhart.

In this episode, Scott and Noelle discuss this idea of Practical Spiritual Paradigms. Scott shares an example of what this concept means, and how he practices being love and seeing beauty daily. 

Loneliness is at an all-time high, despite the social media promise of creating human connection. In this episode, Noelle and Ryan talk about staying connected to friends and community outside of Facebook, the effect of isolation on our social habits, and being vulnerable enough to admit "I'm lonely!"

In this episode, the three of us finally sit down together and delve into why we’re doing this thing. We talk about our intentions for this, including creating a safe space for vulnerability, authenticity, wisdom, intimacy, and the inherent preciousness of every human experience.

Listening, of course, is a vital and beautiful way to participate in a conversation. We also invite you to share this episode if you are so inspired, and to step deeper into our ongoing conversation by reaching out to us directly via DMs or whatever, with feedback, thoughts, ideas, wisdom or anything that shows up for you.

Noelle records a slice of life as final preparations are being made at a Thanksgiving gathering in Minneapolis, hosted by my dear friend Lauren. Eric, Damon, Christina, Lauren’s mom Lynnda, Hedge, and Kai all contribute to this conversation.

We cover a lot of topics from the shirt Eric is wearing, to the differences between generations. We reflect on the music we were raised on, Damon shares about his experience moving to Minneapolis in the summer of 2020, we talk about the recent shootings in Colorado Springs, fostering and adopting cats, motivations behind dietary preferences, and we have a great conversation about shared values and how finding those shared values help us communicate with one another. The list goes on.

The ambient noise from the kitchen can be distracting at times, but I encourage you to let go and immerse yourself in the experience.

In this episode, Scott and I sit at my kitchen table with Xandra Green. We chat about her innate curiosity and desire to understand people, which gives her a beautiful super power of being able to say no and leave people feeling empowered by it. Xan is an artist and her medium is LIFE. This conversation could have easily gone on so much longer - I know you’ll enjoy it.

In this episode, Noelle sits with Billie on Saturday afternoon in November and they dive into Billie’s origin story, looking at times in life when she said yes and how that helped shape her path. We explore a lot of ideas around how she found her way into becoming a therapist and how we’re all just figuring life out as we go. We are all just stardust, after all.

In this episode, Scott and Noelle sit at her kitchen table on a Sunday afternoon, and we dive into Scott’s origin story, creative and artistic expression, the stories we tell ourselves and how we get to choose our stories and how we show up in the world. We also explore the idea of seeing the beauty inherent in everything and approaching conversation as an opportunity to see that beauty that already exists.

In this, our pilot episode, Noelle and Ryan sit around her kitchen table on a late October evening and take a wandering path through their origin stories, their experiences with creative expression, advocacy in health care, and more.
