Release can change the trajectory of your day and life, but it can be maddening to understand. This episode bridges the Release Paradox by helping you wake up to several misunderstandings. Release is an active, not passive way of navigating your day, offering energy without strain in nourishing ways. It’s the most effective path through volatility and uncertainty. And it’s a basic law of nature and the universe. By the end of this episode, you’ll look very differently at the daily struggle to stay afl

This episode examines the Being With Paradox and the 4 ways of engaging in relationship, as described by Sam Wells in "The Nazareth Manifesto." Being with is the most powerful of the 4 ways of engaging in relationship, but it’s often the most overlooked. I speak about my own struggles with the George Floyd atrocity and how the last week forced me to be with my own ignorance, defensiveness, shame, unease, and privilege, along with the helpful and not so helpful ways I responded to my growing self-awareness

Most of us grind away each day to try to stay clear of rock bottom, yet many of those who actually hit rock bottom describe the experience as a catalyst for so much good and a source of reassurance. In this episode I share my own story slamming into rock bottom in December 2015. I end by clarifying the key distinction that bridges the Rock Bottom Paradox. Warning! You may end up no longer afraid of hitting rock bottom.

We are inspired by the notion of having faith in something beyond what we can see. But we also want tangible evidence of reality. How do we navigate all the unknowns of life, including the pandemic, when a big part of us wants to know truth we can see definitively? This episode examines notions of faith in different forms: religion, love, and going through daily life. The episode ends with a helpful way of finding reassurance in moments when our faith seems to be weakening.

Mystery and adventure versus uncertainty and the unknown. Sometimes we want mystery, other times it feels incredibly alarming. In this episode I examine the patterns around engaging the mystery and uncertainty of life. I examine 3 interesting patterns that support the notion that we are wired to embrace mystery even when life seems most turbulent. I provide a bridge to the mystery paradox and a way of responding to the moments of our day when we feel overwhelmed by all the unknowns.

Why does resistance sometimes help you grow stronger, but other times leads to burning out? This episode examines what gives rise to the grind of everyday life. Grinding is not about how hard you are working, it’s a reflection of misalignment across your expectations, intentions, actions, and outcomes. Unfortunately, most of the strategies we’ve been taught to navigate life perpetuate this misalignment. This episode provides a simple way to overcome this confusion and consistently navigate resistance.

This episode examines the Abundance Paradox, how we often find ourselves damned with abundance and damned without it. I talk about the many mixed messages around abundance, how the word itself is often used inconsistently, and even how a common way of practicing gratitude actually reinforces scarcity, which interferes with sensing abundance. I end with three simple ways of approaching abundance that are practical and easy to consistently embrace.

Happiness is weird. There are tons of contradictory messages around happiness. This episode examines the Happiness Paradox, which stems from misunderstanding how there are 3 levels or stages of felt experience, the 1st of which is often completely overlooked. I also talk about the power of having a tantrum, the difference between emotions and feelings, and ultimately the critical distinction between Happiness with a capital "H" and happiness with a lowercase "h."

How is Coronavirus impacting your day-to-day? I interview people about the user experience of life during this unprecedented period. No matter your age, background, life circumstances, or where you live, daily life is different. I ask everyone the same set of questions, including how they are navigating this period, what they’ve learned, how they look at things differently, and how life has improved and become harder. I am the guinea pig in this episode and answer about my own experiences.

This episode is all about standing in your divine strength. It's easy to try to be strong in a way that isn't reflective of the divine strength within you. I speak about my own struggles with this, and how it took my magnificent daughter being born to reflect back to me the truth life and God have been trying to get me to see for decades. Whether you are feeling wobbly, determined, or somewhere in-between, this episode will leave you inspired to stand in your strength, the divineness of who you really are.
