Bear (our indoor-only cat) escaped into the wild :o
Things we love about Fall
The agony and joy of moving, with a pet

This episode is for people who miss, or love, or are curious about, Hawaii. We spend the whole episode just “talking story” (that’s a Hawaii-ism) about things we miss, or appreciate about this very special archipelago…Hawaii…our original island home.

From what we can tell, a "miracle" has something to do with Decisions, and how deeply you feel them.  Conviction.  Seriousness of intent and depth of commitment.  Maybe something about that kind of decision flips a switch in your brain that changes the way you see things.  But maybe it also somehow spookily influences the external world around you, nudging things onto your path.  It's probably both, since this reality is after all, all One Reality.  In this episode, we share how and why we've come to this point of view.  And we encourage you to remember that success is about making these decisions again and again and again.

In this episode, we happily yak about munchies and snacking while we actually do some munching and snacking. Join us for a rambling conversation about the joys and rewards of slow food, pour over coffee, and home-cooking. Come for the old school Hawaii references, stay for the inspiration to make healthier eating choices and support healthy eating habits.  Show notes include a bunch of pics of our recent meals, and Siena's Green Juice recipe.

No offense to kids, but it’s nice to be able to enjoy the museum without them sometimes. In this episode, we share our surprise and delight at how many lesbians we noticed at one of our date night excursions: OMSI After Dark. OMSI is a science museum in Portland, Oregon. It was a nerdy night out!  And Siena got to pet a reptile (!)

In this episode, we get real and name the problem with trying to form new habits or stop old ones: It’s hard! We talk about how, after the initial feelings of inspiration and motivation wear off, it can be a straight up slog. We also talk about WHY it feels like a slog! And how you can accurately re-frame this discomfort to your advantage.

Toast goes off on why she thought it was really dumb advice to "act as if," when attempting to change your money paradigm.  And then we talk about what "acting as if" REALLY entails.  It's all part of an episode where we try to cover what we have NOT heard spelled out enough, when it comes to the topic of "How to Transform Your Money Story."

Here's a fun free-ranging chat about how and why your imagination is a spiritual technology.  We talk about building bridges (literal bridges), zombies (figurative zombies), and how Siena dealt with freaking and flipping out with nervousness before going on stage to sing.

This is a reminder that you are in charge of you, and of your experience of life. Even The Declaration of Independence talks about your right – your duty – to not allow yourself to be reduced as a human being.  Join us for a pep talk of what you might 'already know.'  But, just like brushing your teeth, we all need to keep up with regular maintenance of cleaning out the grime that can get into our mind and thinking!

In this episode, we make the argument that, far from being a self-indulgent or frivolous thing, working on yourself is actually a moral duty, and at the very core of being a responsible member of society.  Siena tells a Hawaii-related story involving shoyu (soy sauce) packets and hashi (chopsticks) to help illustrate.  And we also invoke the words of Jesus to "whoop whoop whoop."
