  • #15: There's no such thing as a small act of kindness

    This week’s quote: “There’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” by Scott Adams.

  • #13: There is no expedient to which we will not resort

    In this episode we explore the tendency to take the path of least resistance, what it takes to fully consider our actions, and if we are in control of our thoughts at all.

  • #12: A fool can give more advice in a day

    In this episode we explore the realm of advice giving; is dishing out advice always appropriate? How do our egos handle it when advice isn’t received as intended? And when is it time to simply be quiet? 

    This weeks quote is by Buddhist teacher Sangharakshita: “A fool can give more advice in a day than a wise man can follow in a year”

  • #11: Be a bush if you can't be a tree

    In this episode we explore what it means to act wholeheartedly, and to be grateful for where we are. Our culture puts so much emphasis on being ‘somebody else’, somebody better, more beautiful, more productive, is it possible to be content with ourselves as we are?

    This week’s quote is a poem!


    If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill
    Be a scrub in the valley--but be
    The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
    Be a bush if you can't be a tree.

    Be the Best of Whatever You Are by Douglas Malloch.

  • #10: We are feeling creatures that think

    The popular myth of being ‘in control’ of our feelings. Society often thinks of itself as ‘head over heart’, but is this true? Expect stories of seduction, bullying and the baby at the core of our being (surely our most intriguing description yet?!).


    This week’s quote: “Although many of us think of ourselves as thinking creatures that feel, biologically we are feeling creatures that think.” by neuroscientist Jill Bolte Taylor from her book My stroke of Insight.

  • #7: Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them

    We explore the transformational power of acceptance and reframing the ‘weeds’ in our own lives… oh an George discovers that he is in fact a flower 🌸


    This week’s quote: “Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them.”. Now this quote is attributed to Winnie the Pooh creator A.A. Milne, however after looking around the source is nowhere to be found! Some people say it’s Disney, some others say 'Probably said by Eeyore'. The long and short is: it’s a great quote with a questionable source 🥴
