That Newport Show: A podcast about Newport, Rhode Island

If the only constant in life is change, how do we stay sane in the moving target of life?  Perhaps the Universe has something in store for us that we never could have expected; something way better than what we think we want.  Buck and Helena dive into the realities of change; the adventure, the joy…and the fear.  Plus, we have a conversation with Don Gardner, a true Newporter, to get the inside story on the Newport hospitality scene. Listen in!

We all try to manage our priorities, but sometimes life takes over…and boy did it!  Buck and Helena are back after a three week hiatus from podcasting. House hunting was ridiculously intense; should we build or remodel? Well, we hung in there for a third choice, and the Universe delivered us a beauty!  But not without an interesting twist, of course.  Also, we dine and dish about Harry’s Bar & Burger, a cute little spot on lower Thames.  Listen in!

Trapped energy is everywhere! It’s in our homes, our bodies, our minds: it is literally everywhere. In this episode, Buck and Helena talk about what trapped energy looks and feels like, and how making an aim to “throw it out and clean it up” can change things.  Plus, we discuss shocks and their importance in releasing energy; energy that leads to a happier, healthier life. Also we return to Brix at the Newport Vineyard. Did it live up to our first visit there? Listen in!

“Why should I play the Roman fool, and die

On mine own sword?”    – Macbeth

Spend an evening listening to talented and passionate actors bring the best of Shakespeare to Aquidneck Island. Our guest this week is Morgan Capodilupo, Founder and Artistic Director of the Seaside Shakespeare Society, a Newport-based theater company that focuses on creating productions of Shakespeare plays in Newport and other dramatic locations on Aquidneck Island. Morgan chats with us today about their current production: MACBETH. Plus, Buck and Helena dig into an intereseting question about men.

Let’s head for happiness!

Helping our community come together in ways that bond us and lighten our energy is one of the reasons we started this podcast. It’s fun, it’s silly, it’s serious, but it’s always about sharing stories and information that leave you with a smile or feeling of a camaraderie. Summer is a great time to focus on the easy inner work that goes hand-in-hand with the warmer temperatures and opportunities for fun; even if you are working at breakneck speeds serving cocktails or answering phones. In this episode, Buck and Helena share a technique they use to re-balance one’s mind and energy so you get the most out of whatever summer fun is on the agenda. Listen in!

* A Place to Chill: King Park

* Noteworthy:

* The Work (refers to the esoteric study of The Fourth Way, a series of principles that support self-development).

* Aim – Something intended or desired to be attained by one’s efforts; purpose.

* Keep it simple – set one aim at a time. It can be for three days or thirty.

* Pay attention to how you feel and what you think each time you try your aim. What do you discover about yourself? Be curious about yourself. Don’t judge.

* Some aims that have helped us:

* Put your keys in the same exact place every single time you walk in the door. No exceptions.

* Eat whatever you want, but you must sit down at a table every time; even if it’s just a handful of chips.

* Put a tie on even if your office has a casual dress code.
