Is it possible to have a two hour conversation about SNACKS? Of course it is! Are we still surprised after all this time that after talking about snacks for two hours we realize there is still so much to talk about? Yes! This week we invite our friend Kiersten to the pod (aka the snack Queen) to talk snack's with us. During the episode we also munched on several delicious snacks which lead to more curious conversations! We hope you enjoy this one! Preferably while enjoying some of you favorite snacks!

Welcome to our second conversation on friendship! This week we deep dive friendships of pop-culture...what we think makes for a good friendship...and what we ultimately want out of our own personal friendships! We hope this gets you thinking about your own philosophy of friendship and maybe even enjoying your current friendships a bit more. They are no small thing after all.

This week is all about the concept of PLAY! We think learning to be able to play is a foundational skill in learning how to be more curious. Play is a vital quality to cultivate in the lives of children and it is also essential to maintaining as an adult. Play often happens when we get lost in the flow of something...that can include activities like art and sports, but psychoanalysis also is a form of play that helps us to get in touch with our subconscious. This episode is fun and silly and ultimately pretty wild! As usual we kind of bit of more than we can chew! We hope is a good launch pad for your own explorations about why play might be important in your own life!

Christena Cleveland is helping us re-imagine God in a way that prioritizes the marginalized and helps us see God through diversity. Her perspective is a crucial element in helping people who seek to pursue and enact a robust understanding of justice live that out in an effective way. She is helping us discover God in ways that are healing and necessarily transformative.

This week is a pretty light hearted discussion on The Enneagram and birthdays! How does each type engage with their birthday and how do we experience those types!? In this episode we really tried so hard no to be super serious...but we also want to honor the types and be serious! Its complicated. We hope you enjoy this episode and maybe get a few laughs!

Listening may be one of the most unpracticed yet most needed skill in the modern world. Most people live in with an extreme listening deficit. As a podcast we continue to seek out conversations that explore how to be more curious and listening seems almost synonymous. In this episode we talk about what makes a good listener and a bad listener, we engage with listener comments, and we discuss what being better listeners might look like.

This is the official recording of our LIVE SHOW! We were so honored to host a No Small Thing episode at 415 Westlake in Seattle! We focused on Defense Mechanisms..and we specifically focused on Repression and Denial(these are the things we think are fun to talk about!). This was a fantastic opportunity for us to host a live physical version of what we have been doing every week for over a year and half. We hope you enjoy listening into this fun/ awesome experience!

Here it is! Our top 5 albums OF THE DECADE. Our lists our different (no overlaps!) and we have a lively and curious discussion about our picks! Hopefully this gets you in touch with your own favorite albums and gets you into a nice reflective nostalgic mood!

As we continue to have curious conversations we have seen how the queer community are teaching us to be curious about something that we take for granted every day: gender. We believe that society has a rigid and limited view on gender. This is NOT a political conviction or something that we are "aligning with" because it's "trendy". We truly believe that curiosity is a vital element to us thriving as humans (individually and collectively). This week we are SO PROUD to present our interview with Henea who- identifies as transgender. This is the second episode in a series on gender that we hope continue to explore as we move forward as a podcast. We can debate certain topics philosophically...there is a time and a place for that. But we also believe that listening to people's stories may be one of the most productive things that we can do as people who are learning to care for and see each other. We are so happy to introduce you to Henea!

The instinctual variants of the enneagram may be even more important than knowing your number...yet the variants are often overlooked in a lot of the podcast content out there. The more we talk about the enneagram the more intrigued we are by the variants. This is an episode dedicated to unpacking why this is so important to understand. Its everything we love about the enneagram! It helps us understand ourselves and others better! Scott talks about what it's like to be a sexual type, Macie talks about what it's like to be a social type...and then there is some reflections on what it must feel like to be a self preservation type. We love these enneagram episodes and this particular episodes reflects where we are at on our own journey currently. Make sure to follow us on instagram and feel free to DM us or send us an e-mail at [email protected] if you'd like to interact with us about all things enneagram! Peace!
