The BU Network Podcast | Conversations Worth Having

Welcome to Season 1, Episode 12 of our B.U. Network Podcast!

In this episode, join Joe "Dr Energy" Piazza & Kathryn "RaRa" Asaro, in a conversation worth having on excitement!

Buzz! Passion! Thrill! All of these are synonyms for Excitement.

In this episode Dr Energy & RaRa share some exciting experiences that embody all of these versions of the emotion of excitement. Harness the depth and richness of being aware of, acknowledging, and accepting that, as motivating as excitement can be, life requires commitment and perseverance to carry through on choices made after the "bloom is off the rose," or when the excitement in which we made the choice fades.

Listen in as Dr Energy & RaRa examine a few strategies and share some resources and stories.

This is the final episode of Season 1: Emotions.

Stay tuned for Season 2: Authors. Coming soon!

Sadness. Grief. Depression. These can all be very "heavy" emotions to deal with. Dr Energy & RaRa discuss how we can be with and honour sadness, and still Be Us.

Welcome to Season 1, Episode 3 of our B.U. Network Podcast.

In this episode, Joe "Dr Energy" Piazza & Kathryn "RaRa" Asaro discuss boredom...what are the positives, and negatives, to experiencing boredom?

What do you do when you feel bored? Do you binge-watch/stream television? Do you pick up your phone/tablet/computer and start scrolling through social media?

All of these passive strategies will give you a short-term "hit of feel-good," and a poor long-term, residual benefit.

“I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.” -Jim Carrey

What if instead of these passive actions, you chose an active response; to exercise for 5-10minutes? Or meditate for 5-10 minutes? What if you went for a walk or bike ride outside and visited nature? These all have both a short-term positive impact, as well as a positive, long-term, residual benefit. Not only do we receive the short-term "hit of feel-good," we also build long-term health and well-being from these activities.

We invite you to join us, and embrace the magic on the other side of the boredom!
