- A Life Without “Should”: Claim More Joy With The Life That You Want With Tricia Huffman
Whether we all live and grow up with other people’s expectations and, by extension, their judgments. But instead of letting those “shoulds” define us, shouldn’t we just be living the life that we truly want for ourselves? It is a lot easier said than done, but it is not impossible if you have the intention and the willingness to do the work. Joining Jason Wrobel and Whitney Lauritsen to unpack this for us is Your Joyologist, Tricia Huffman, a speaker, writer, coach and mentor who is out on a mission to help people live with joy in the NOW. Tricia believes that we have the power to move beyond the “shoulds” and actually strive for our “wants” and that it’s totally cool to be doing so. This conversation challenges so many of the things we have been brought up to believe all in one sitting. Prepare to have your mind blown.

1 hr 22 min - Ben Decker On How Spirituality And Politics Shape Society
Spirituality and politics are two distinct forces that drive our consciousness, but they are more connected than we actually think. Jason Wrobel and Whitney Lauritsen explore this topic with meditation teacher and author Ben Decker, focusing on his latest book Modern Spirituality. Together, they discuss the impact of our individual spirituality on the collective efforts of society and how it shapes politics, particularly in the time of the election. Ben also shed some light on the similarities of world religions, how meditation should help us understand our inner purpose, and how to properly balance our higher and lower natures. Furthermore, they also share their thoughts about Marianne Williamson's presidential campaign and how her political views changed the game for the greater good.

1 hr 33 min - How Society Is Impacted With The Desire To Get What We Want
We are always designed to desire to get what we want, but does our list ever end? Can we actually find contentment once we achieve our goals? When can we say that the finish line is at hand? Jason Wrobel and Whitney Lauritsen discuss the possibility of humankind's never-ending list of wants that directly shape our society. They go deep on our collective nature to fight a common enemy and stand for our principles, as well as the gravity of the possible political shift with Joe Biden's presidency. They also share thoughts about getting a COVID-19 vaccine, going on a diet (particularly vegan), and the possibility of humanity cheating death through technology.

Jason Wrobel and Whitney Lauritsen also talk to Vani about what has been happening in her life since the pandemic started. Having to deal with a new baby, a new cookbook and a massive shift in the industry all at the same time, Vani somehow found a way to get through it all with grace. This conversation humanizes one of the most influential people in the wellness industry – a moment of vulnerability that we can all take inspiration from in each of our own health journeys.

52 min - Measuring "Better": Does Practice Make Perfect?
We have been told all our lives to strive to become better, but what exactly is “better”? Is it something definite, measurable and attainable? We have been brought up to think of it as a goal, as an end point that we need to somehow achieve to be of any worth. And when we feel like we’re failing to do so, that’s when shame comes in big time. Jason Wrobel and Whitney Lauritsen tackle this uncomfortable topic in this extremely vulnerable conversation and tie it up with their ongoing discussion of America’s capitalistic hustle culture that misleadingly celebrates hard work as the way to success. They wrap up the episode by going back to the importance of gratitude, of knowing that you are already enough for who you are and what you have. Join in and take part in this uncomfortable, but necessary conversation.
