SHADELIFE by Brendan Eldom Byrne

This week's conversation is a game changer. A Small shift in perspective, and small adjustment in our approach to life - Changing "why" we do things. To Live Life because of Love rather than For Love. To create, perform or practice something simply because of the love you have within, rather than for the outward acceptance and appreciation. What would life look like, how would life feel if we operated and performed our acts of excellence simply because we are loved . . . b/c you cannot receive something you already have.

I've had multiple experiences in life, where I worked really hard at building something and then over time I didn't feel at home with in it... and again - and again and again - and finally years later I've realized my mistake . . . "I was building a house but not a home".

I want to begin a discussion about our mis-conceptions, our mistakes, or maybe our misguided motives within and about relationships. I want to begin by talking about the personal relationships in our life, and then broaden the convesations and see how this concept relates to our connection in structures, systems, with life and maybe even with God. How much effort do we put into keeping the structure to the relationship, and yet the core foundation of the relationship itself (which is the actual relationship) we find our selves absent. At the end of the conversation, I hope we can all switch our hearts and motives - and passionately work on building our homes, rather than building an empty house.

SHADELIFE LIVE | 010 | "Functional Power" w/ Pablo Lucero

What happens when an aspiring pastor & a seasond yoga instructor sit down and have a conversation???

One of my favorite things is conversation... but not just a regular conversation; but inter-faith conversations, inter-practice conversations, and inter-lifestyle conversations. I think it's so important to begin conversations about hard topics, as well as with people that maybe we disagree with, or maybe even with people who live compeletly different lifstyles. To me conversation is the first step to peace and understanding.  This week's guest is Pablo Lucero, a community leader, yoga instructor & great friend. So much of our life is obtaining more, getting more... everything is bigger, faster, stronger... however how much of the weight we lift daily produces actual functionality in our lives? How much information do we obtain and yet it relates to very little to actual life? This week we dive into a conversation about practicing functional movement and how it parallels with how we approach life in various dimensions. We'll tackle the concept of embracing our dysfunctionality, creative freedom in lifestyle choices, and a wide range of ideas on the topic of functional power with our good friend Pablo Lucero.

Passionate work can lead to burn out. How do we prevent ourselves from getting to those weak moments in our lives. How do we maintain our sanity and yet still keep the flame burning. Many of us work really hard to make a living and yet, have no life... except for work. Therapists, Psychologists, and Pastors call this the self-care plan. Its creating a schedule / plan in your life to take care of yourself. Lets dive into another discussion, this time about taking care of "YOU".

The Transformative Spiritual Experience, a part of the journey - an ongoing growth and evolution of the self. There is a part of the journey where what once freed you eventually enslaves you. There is a part of the journey where what once worked, stops working. There is a part of the journey where you experience something that challenges everything you know. If we're honest we've all doubted, questioned, feared, and we've all been unsure at times; a vital and crucial step in the journey is embracing those moments, rather then running from them. A pivotal moment in the journey, is when one steps out into their doubts and fears - shatters their own beliefs and expands their mind and heart. This is what I call the Transformative Spiritual Experience.

For the first guest on the SHADELIFE LIVE podcast, I invited my Wife Burcin Gursel Byrne. She is a Professional Organizer - and helps people declutter their personal clutter. However cleaning up our clutter begins internally before their are results externally; because sometimes to understand things mentally, emotionally or even spiritually - we have to understand things physically. Seeing a physical / literal mess in our lives could be a representation of what is happening underneath the surface. How much baggage and boxes do we carry through life? Physically, mentally and spiritually? Listen to a deep and insightful convesation with my wife, as she helps you declutter your clutter.
