This week the Beans join the thousands of people who are feeling overwhelmed with the state of the world right now. But fear not, the besties are putting on their big girl pants and showing us all how to embrace resilience. If resilience wasn’t modeled for you growing up, it can be especially difficult, but research suggests that a strong social support network in adulthood might actually be what we need to navigate life’s toughest challenges. Plus, Mory opens up about how her divorce changed her life and inspired her work as an intuitive life coach.

How exactly does one age gracefully? Join Mory and Melissa in this week’s episode as they answer this question and step (slowly) into the wisdom of their 40s. Sure, society loves to remind them that their bodies may not be as youthful as they once were, but that doesn’t mean they have to listen to it. Come commiserate with Bean and Bean about achy hips and relish in an attitude of “I don’t care what you think of me” even when Melissa’s daughter says she’s the most embarrassing person in the world.

Has a friend ever perfectly read your energy without exchanging any words at all? Maybe you needed a shoulder to cry on or someone to take your mind off things. Whatever it is, we as humans use our intuition everyday to care for others and respond to our environment without using complex reasoning. But, is intuition something only humans have? In this episode, Mory and Melissa learn about how primates use tools to solve problems, marvel at the exchange between plants and their fungi friends, and finally get an answer to the age-old question: would Mory and Melissa still be friends if they were dolphins?

In this episode, Mory and Melissa go down the historical rabbit hole to examine ancient spiritual traditions - everything from the role of nature in Shintoism to dance in Sufism. As it turns out, a lot of the key concepts we use on the podcast have long lineages which, ultimately, shows just how profoundly important spiritual connection has been for people across time and space. This episode is about our relationship to the past. Why do we revere belief systems when they are older? What does it mean to be a part of a tradition so much bigger than yourself? Tune in to hear some reverence for the ancestors - and also, some reverence for you, our listeners! We’ve loved the support you’ve shown us - we only ask that you share the podcast with anyone who you think would like it so we can reach even more ears!

We wouldn’t be around if there wasn’t a mass movement towards spirituality in our general culture.

In this episode, the Beans take a look in the mirror to discuss the pros and cons of all the spirituality in our media. Come for the deep dive on how to find the right spiritual advisor for you; stay for Mory learning how to play the tambourine.
