Episode 17: Eldering

Don’t worry, we’re not talking about church elders, we’re talking about the wisdom that comes with aging, how we need each other–young and old mixed up together–and how crucial it is for aging people to not dismiss our contributions but step into what we have to bring to others, the world.

Episode 16: Presence is Everything 

Living in the here and now instead of in the future of the past is no small task. In a fragile and fractured world, being present is our best shot at surviving it. But learning how to be present isn’t something that we can learn with our heads; it comes with practice.

Episode 15: Death  

Talking about death, preparing for death, honoring death, respecting our mortality and other people’s mortality as well is something that a lot of us aren’t that great at naturally. In this episode, we dive into an honest conversation about death and dying, just another light topic on Soul + Practice.

Episode 14:  All Roads Lead to ISuckVille and WhatIfTown

In this foundational episode for all things Soul+Practice, we look at the two places that all roads seem to lead for most of us humans–ISuckville (Shame) and WhatIfTown (Fear). Our brains get so used to going there that they’re on autopilot. The way out to new patterns requires changing the channel and over time learning to build new roads.

Episode 13: Season 2 and We Don’t Know Sh*t

We’re back with Season 2 and the start of a new year in 2022 that is off to a tricky start. We think it would help us all if we could “break up with knowing.” In a world that makes no promises, this entitled feeling can lead us to all kinds of trouble. In this episode, we focus on the healing that can happen when we embrace “I don’t know.”

Episode 10 - Men! 

The patriarchy isn’t just bad for women; it’s bad for men, too. While we obviously can’t speak for men, we wanted to process some of what we hope for change, healing, and healthier human-ing together.
