Uncharted Living

In this guided breathing short, follow along as air travels from your nose to your bloodstream. Putting your attention on something your body does for you 24 hours a day might just get you out of a funk and into a calmer headspace.

Shitty days happen.  They do.  Sometimes even small tasks feel insurmountable and that’s ok. In this mini-episode, Bekah guides us through our less-than-ideal days with practical tools that help bring us back to ourselves and manage days where we just can’t deal. (Part one of three… stay tuned!)


In this episode: 

Martha Beck’s tools: Spoons and the 3 B’s
How to improve your dentist (or doctor) visit
Bistros versus Vegas buffets

Many people hate small talk, and we at Uncharted Living are no exception. In this episode Christine, Bekah, and Thai skip the small talk and head straight to “big talk.”  We ask each other questions that are interesting and that matter, and we hope it encourages our listeners to engage with each other with more intention and curiosity.  Feel free to use our questions and even better, share with us some of your own “big talk” questions!



In this episode: 
Christine discusses life long friendship & why lawyering and life coaching are similar.
Thai shares what we miss about teenagers & what they can remind us of in adulthood. 
Bekah talks about why the Enneagram can save your marriage & her take on a difficult period of time.

Due to the tremendous response we had to our first discussion about death and hospice care (Episode 11: Death Smiles at Us All), we are taking a deeper dive with hospice nurse (and Christine’s sister) Dianna Sawyer to discuss the signs of end of life, the glimmers of hope we can find in the process, and some profoundly beautiful cultural differences in caring for the dying.  This conversation is full of powerful moments along with a lot of laughs. 

In this episode: 

End of life signs - what to watch for and what do they mean
Glimmers of hope in the process for the dying and the grieving family
How someone close to death can still enjoy a Manhattan
Christine’s horror story with hospice
Steph’s story of lovingly tending to the dead in the Jewish community
Sounds of silence

This episode is a gift for all humans who want to educate themselves and join this important conversation surrounding gender assumptions around the world, including whether all moms are afraid of spiders.
This episode may be long, but it packs a punch and is well worth the listen.  We are joined by our producer Stephany to discuss some complex issues surrounding sexism and misogyny, and share our different perspectives with care and humor.  

In the first 45 minutes of the episode we discuss the differences between sexism, misogyny, and patriarchy, and PRACTICAL responses we and our listeners can use when faced with an inappropriate joke, comment or uncomfortable situation.

In the second half of the episode, we take an unexpected but important deep dive into medical misogyny, how the “father of gynecology” used enslaved women in experimental surgeries against their will, how countries respond differently to women’s menstruation, Steph’s shocking interaction with Colombia’s current president, and how online misogyny through sexual and violence images and comments leads to actual extremism and violence against women and girls. 

In this episode:

The differences between patriarchy, sexism, and misogyny

Practical tips for responding to unwanted, inappropriate, and sexist comments

Mother’s Day versus Father’s Day

Medical misogyny

How medical care for women started, and how it’s going

Today's episode is Part 3 of 4 in our series on The Laws of the Universe. Bekah & Thai discuss the laws of polarity, rhythm and relativity. This conversation will show you how to view all things as neutral which is a superpower for letting go of stress and welcoming acceptance. 


In this episode: 
Polarity- Everything is dual. Opposites are identical in nature, just different in degree.
Relativity- Nothing exists alone.
Rhythm- Everything flows in and out. Everything has its tides and seasons. 
Our dear friend, Oprah.
