Every Human Heart

Hope is an essential part of human life yet sometimes hope can keep us stuck. 

"Abandoning hope is an affirmation, the beginning of the beginning," writes Pema Chödrön in 'When Things Fall Apart' (one of my all time favorite books). 

Why is hope important? What does it mean to abandon hope without abandoning meaning, direction, and purpose? What does it mean to abandon hope but not give it up? 

In this episode, we delve into these questions and arrive at a point where we keep the kind of hope that serves us and illuminates our path, and let go of the hopes that hold us back.

As we enter the new year, many of us are thinking about what we want to do and achieve in 2021 -- it's resolution season. But reflecting on what we want to let go of is just as important as reflecting on what we want to bring into our lives. In fact, letting go of what no longer serves us creates the space for us to welcome the new. Join me in this episode as I reflect on the things I'm leaving in 2020, so that I can make 2021 the best year it could possibly be. 

Journal prompts for this episode are available at @everyhumanheart.

What are you leaving behind so that you can soar?

We've all been through shitty experiences. But do we want to let them be the extra baggage we carry for the rest of our lives? Or do we want to use them to move forward? Because that's totally possible. 

In this episode, let's think about how we can go about reframing shitty experiences and take back control of our stories so they don't make us feel quite as bad. 

I heard your requests for journal reflection prompts, too! So head over to @everyhumanheart for the accompany prompts for this episode. 

Good luck! You got this!

The conversation about vulnerability has been steadily growing over the past few years but what are the rules of engagement around vulnerability? Might vulnerability be weaponized and what should we be mindful of? What does vulnerability look like at work and why is it important? 

This episode reflects on all of those questions and more, and was inspired by a workshop I recently ran with Unsettled's Global Passport program.

Emotions are incredible bits of information that tell us us a lot about ourselves. They tell us what matters to us, who we value, and more. It's important to acknowledge and name our feelings, so that we don't run away from the fullness of our experiences and the fullness of who we are. But it's just as important to not sink into the bog that heavy emotions can sometimes be. In this episode, I reflect on how we can use our feelings to shape our narrative and our lives.

We often say that relationships fail when they end. But that implies that a successful relationship is one that lasts forever and ever and ever...

But is that true? 

In this episode, I reflect on a few ways that the ending of a relationship is, in fact, not a failure. Might the end of a relationship be its success instead?  

I'd love to hear what you think:

Episode 0 of my brand spanking new podcast! Let's begin at the beginning. 

In this short episode, I talk about what this podcast is going to be about -- I'm sure this will evolve -- and why I'm doing it -- because I'm a curious, existentialist cat. In episode 0, I share with you the spirit of this podcast (what makes for a meaningful life?) and lay the groundwork for the topics to come. 

Come along with me in this labyrinth of life. I can't wait to hear what you think!
