a thing we’re trying

On Trying


Listen Later

Welcome to ATWT: a podcast where we’re interested in what’s emergent and restorative; what feeds our souls, bodies, the collective, and the planet. We’re here for the full spectrum of life, dancing through the gray areas, and gently approaching the edges of our comfort zones.


We’ll share our experiences and lessons as deeply feeling humans who care about our impact in the world. We’ll discuss the tools and practices we use to navigate the ups and downs of this audacious adventure we call life. The podcast is a space for exploration, where we’ll try new things while inviting YOU to try things on, take what resonates, and leave the rest. 


In this episode, Jessica Sage and Michelle Zaylar discuss the concept of trying from various angles. Tune in to hear their perspectives and get a fresh take on what it means to try. 


Episode Highlights:

  • How we feel about the cliche: "do or do not, there is no try"

  • Societal expectations and how we try to fit in

  • A few things we're trying in our own lives

  • How to know when to stop trying

  • The power of support systems when trying new things

  • .... and more cause we're talkers with a million thoughts


    Reflections/Questions:

    What is something you’d love to try? What would it take for you to get started? Are there any resources or supports you need to put in place before doing so?
