With Liz Lamoreux:

What’s the truth behind the glimpses you see into our lives on Instagram, on Facebook, on our blogs? What are our responsibilities as content consumers? What are our responsibilities as content creators – to avoid stepping on our readers’ toes? To be authentic? – and what does that even mean?

We don’t have a lot of answers, but please join us in the conversation!

Highlights:

* Pace drags the karaoke machine out of the creepy stairway to nowhere so Kyeli can sing “Instagram Girl” to the tune of Madonna’s “Material Girl”

* friends vs. fans

* openness vs. honesty

* the lie of social media

* spoiler warnings and trigger warnings

* the monkeysphere

* the assumptions we make about people’s lives, and the usual error

* Andrea Scher as an example of authenticity

* Jen Louden‘s concept of shadow comfort

* Pam Slim‘s high council of Jedi Knights, and her freakishly awesome ability to remember everyone and be super sweet to them all

* What lab rats can teach us about Facebook

We help spiritual world-changers live wild crazy meaningful lives. Our first 3 episodes will be about each of these: wild, crazy, and meaningful. This time: Meaningful.

Living a meaningful life means following your heart’s calling. Living a meaningful life means choosing your own meaning, not living by anyone else’s. Living a meaningful life means

saying goodbye to those pangs of self-doubt and ennui, those disturbing moments of “What the hell am I doing with my life?” Living a meaningful life means feeling fulfilled every day, knowing deep down in your bones that you are living in alignment with your heart.

Highlights:

* “What would people say about me at my funeral?” and the inside-out principle

* Is a guru on a mountaintop living a meaningful life? Pace and Kyeli disagree! (sort of)

* The Puritan Myth, the Industrial Revolution, and organized religion

* Maslow’s Pyramid, Maslow’s Basement, and the importance of self-care

* The triple soul as taught by the Feri tradition

* Does everyone have a guiding voice inside their heart?

* What kinds of spiritual practice are effective? Is there one best practice?

* How to find the meaning inside your heart

* An on-the-spot guided meditation

* What to do if you can’t find the meaning inside your heart

Featuring special guests Kady and Phineas, our two cats!

We help spiritual world-changers live wild crazy meaningful lives. Our first 3 episodes will be about each of these: wild, crazy, and meaningful. This time: Crazy.

Living a crazy life is what it may look like from the outside when you live a wild life, because you’re no longer acting in a way that makes everyone around you feel comfortable. But on the inside, it doesn’t feel crazy at all – it feels peaceful, adventurous, creative, free.

It’s not really about “crazy” at all – it’s about the usual error. It’s about compassion. And it’s about Pace & Kyeli’s creepy stairway to nowhere.

Highlights:

* Quitting your cushy, steady job is crazy

* Vegans are crazy

* Republicans are crazy

* Democrats are crazy

* Tim Ferriss is crazy

* Jonathan Fields is crazy

with tangents on communication, compassion, “I” statements, and changing the world.

When you think “That’s crazy, I could never do that,” ask yourself “Is that really true?”

This episode also features:

* What do horses and Doctor Who have in common?

* Hegel

* The Monty Python drunken philosophers song

* LARPing

We apologize for the poor audio quality of this episode! We forgot to change the input source to our good mic, and it used the crappy laptop mic. Episode 2 will sound much better.

Living a wild life means no longer being ruled by fear, stress, and anxiety.

Living a wild life means letting go of being who others expect you to be and having the courage to be yourself – your true self.

Living a wild life means freeing yourself from the chains that keep you stuck, complacent, normal.

Why the world needs you to live a wild life:

* Maria and her monkeysphere

* Paradigm Glue

* the ripple effect

Some of the most common obstacles to living a wild life are:

* The habit of seeking validation from others

* Feeling pressured by friends, family, and peers to meet their expectations

* Fear of the unknown wildness brings up stress and anxiety:

* Fear of doing it wrong

* Fear of losing comfort, losing the familiar

* Fear of being ridiculed

* Fear that no one will love the real you

* Fear of losing your job

* Living in a culture of conformity – e.g. 9-to-5 jobs

* Feeling like wildness is costly, like “doing whatever I want” e.g. travel
