Pondering Life Adventures

This episode, we revisit how we have to actively and continuously work to be good humans - even if we have to get into some “necessary trouble” along the way. Join Bobbi Beale and Maurie Lung as we chat about pride month, try to make sense of recent events, and share how we find new ways to buffer the impact of our current social climate and what we do to keep going in our every day.

Bobbi Beale, PsyD, and Maurie Lung, PhD, continue their outlaw adventures with guest speaker, Troy Wilkerson. Troy lives in Little Rock, Arkansas and works at Joseph Pfeifer Kiwanis Camp. Troy believes that, “Social Justice Work is uncomfortable, emotionally demanding, and challenging. I also know that staying comfortable often leaves you no room to grow and makes you more susceptible to complacency. Treating the symptoms is a part of the process, but problems are only resolved when the underlining issue has ceased. A challenge is also an opportunity to learn, improve, engage, and reflect. I’m committed to ensuring that everyone has access to the resources and opportunities they need to lead fulfilling lives.” Listen in as we chat about how exhausted we all are from living in this world as a targeted marginalized person as well as exploring how to mitigate this impact and how to find respite - especially through experiencing nature, finding places of belonging, and connecting with friends and family.

It sure has been a little while since we have pondered about our life adventures. And gosh, have we had some adventures!

And we even debate if it is "little rabbits have big ears" or "little pitchers have big ears." All of this and more as you settle in for another conversation pondering our life adventures.

Grab your cup of coffee and hop into our conversation as we chat about back to school, learning, rule following, and a bit about what to do when your child is navigating the tough stuff. It's the end of summer and we are soaking in the last little bit of the playful days while we can.

Hold on for the ride!

Grab your cup of coffee and strap yourself in for a ride in this episode! We start off with a quick pass by current events, then we round the corner with a deep dive on family constellations, including the ideas of letting people define themselves and science behind why that is so important for healthy functioning, and then, if you need a laugh, stayed tuned to the very end where we have a hysterical conversation about the most favorite swear word that can be heard on every continent.

Grab your cup of coffee or tea, maybe even light a campfire, and pull up a chair to join Dr. Bobbi Beale and guest speaker, Jason Angione, as they dive into the notion of intending.

They explain how intentions can be self-guiding, including how we can see the highest light in others (or a situation), and the process of creating intentions for ourselves.
