Life in Commune

The illusive art of doing nothing. In a world of stimulation and perpetual busy, should we really be seeking out idle time? Patrick and Carling discuss how the impetus for this conversation came from a Tyler the Creator song, how maybe we were all actually a bit more mindful back when we were teenagers, and wonder if its possible to truly give ourselves permission to do nothing?

Navigating the big world of yoga is no joke these days. There are more styles, studios, and teachers than ever before. This is amazing (!) but can also become very confusing when trying to find what will work best for you. 

Patrick and Carling chat about their own experience in various forms of yoga and get into what has helped them become long term practitioners.

As long time fans of Game of Thrones, Patrick and Carling take time to talk about the show, the perspectives it brings up, and wonder whether emotion or logic are the keys to the kingdom both on and off the screen. Sure, it's pop culture, but all the very best creations offer us moral quandaries and divisive narratives - which ones we identify with is it what its all about. 

SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched GOT, then this probably isn't the episode for you. If you don't like GOT, then this probably isn't the episode for you either ;)

In this episode we discuss the pervasive messaging that we should be able to "do it all" and how that affects our notions of control, worthiness, and living in the moment. What does it actually mean to "do it all" and why do we think we can, or should be able to anyways?

Patrick reflects of the difficulties of feeling out of control even in simple unexpected daily situations and Carling wonders if shes actually following her own advice or if she has succumb to the modern woman's expectations of "having it all" while setting expectations for her recovery from childbirth.

In the first episode where we openly talk about our relationship the discussion moves towards how we manage the time spent apart during the stints of the year when Patrick is traveling.

This episode centers around how we use the time to grow as individuals, keys to staying connected, becoming two individuals coming together to make each other's life better, and managing expectations so you don't end up wishing your life away.
