February 06, 2024273 // When Life Throws Us a Curveball with Brene Brown’s Atlas of the Heart
273 // When Things Don’t Go as Planned
We all like to plan for life and set expectations for how things should go, but what happens when life doesn’t go as planned? Or people or circumstances don’t meet expectations? We try to have a baby and are unable, we lose jobs, marriages end, we lose faith. In this episode we talk about the disappointment, regrets, discouragement, and frustration associated with these situations and tools we can use to view and navigate them with greater understanding and peace.
Main Ideas
The language we use to define our emotions matters!

Disappointment vs. Regret - we feel disappointment when things don’t go how we wanted them to, and we feel the outcome is out of our control. We feel regret when things don’t go how we wanted, and we feel the outcome was caused by our own decisions, actions, or failure to act.

Regret can be one of our greatest (and most uncomfortable) teachers

Tools we talk about - Involving God, “TFT”s from Brené Brown, Fear Setting from Tim Ferris

January 30, 2024272 // Facing the Waves of Life with Taralyn
272 // Magic Moment: When Life’s Waves Tumble you
Does it ever feel like you are just being thrashed by the waves of life? Most of us have felt that way. In this episode, Taralyn describes some things she learned about facing waves in the ocean in Costa Rica. Sometimes it is helpful to face them with peaceful warrior strength; sometimes, its easier to duck under and let the wave roll over us, and sometimes we can surrender to it and allow ourselves to rest as we roll through them. Also, let’s not forget the joy of riding the waves! Sometimes life is a joyful ride, and thats important to enjoy also.

January 09, 2024269 // Weathering Winter
All of us experience metaphorical winters throughout our lives—times of emotional upheaval, physical taxation, or perhaps just times when we need more rest. Many of us also live in places where the outward cycles of our environment shift from warm and sunny to cold and darker.
In this episode, Taralyn explores the concept of wintering as a philosophy, where we actually give ourselves permission to rest, to lean into the darkness as we incubate and grow our deep internal strength we feel ourselves swing back into the light.
