What do you imagine when you hear the word purpose? Inspiration, pressure, a preconditioned or preconceived expectation to “have it figured out”. This episode of Wisdom In Progress is a little different. Our guest speaker, Bill from InPurpose hosts a mini-workshop to help us make sense of purpose and maybe help us each find our own and provide you with tons of important information.

In this heart-forward episode of Wisdom In Progress, our special guest, Tyler, the owner of Enfuse Fitness, helps us uncover the connection between mind and heart in this episode dedicated to women’s heart health. We dive beyond the typical focus on numbers: cholesterol, blood pressure, steps, calories, to the benefits of drinking water, movement, and commitment.

**There were some technical issues with sound in this recording. You may also hear us step on each other's words; that didn’t really happen. 😊

Beth and Evelyn are joined by Tanya to discuss rituals in this episode of Wisdom In Progress. Together, they dive into why humans create rituals, why your brain needs them, why rituals are not inherently religious, and how rituals shape your sense of safety, identity, and control. And, the Ritual Awareness Quiz helps you to understand if you have or need an anchor.

This fun episode of Wisdom in Progress involves everyday habits and starts with a deceptively simple question: Which body part do you wash first in the shower? Beth and Evelyn discuss the neuroscience and psychology behind habit loops, sensory prioritization, identity patterns, and nervous system regulation behind your shower habits.

Beth and Evelyn talk about the annual ritual that so many of us engage in: New Year’s resolutions. Resolutions come from the FIXED mindset of “I need to fix X.” A Word of the Year works with your brain instead of against it. Share your Word of the Year with us at [email protected].

Beth and Evelyn talk about turning life’s messy moments into meaningful clarity. This episode is about managing holiday stress. Sometimes, the most “magical” time of year, well, doesn’t feel so magical. They talk about why the holidays sometimes make you anxious or like you are on a rollercoaster. And, just to be clear, you are not alone.

Beth and Evelyn talk about values. Not the values we say we have, but the ones we actually live. Because when there’s a gap between what matters most and how we show up, we feel it as stress, guilt, or that quiet voice that says, something’s off. When we are aligned with our values, we experience dopamine (motivation), serotonin (well-being), and oxytocin (connection). But, misalignment, triggering stress, and cognitive dissonance. In short, living in congruence with your values calms your nervous system.

Beth and Evelyn explain the difference between capacity and capability, two words that sound similar, but determine whether you thrive or burn out. They will discuss what happens to you when your skills outpace your energy and time, and how to realign your calendar, commitments, and capacity with your values. And, the “Are You at Capacity or Just Running on Capability?” quiz will help you discover whether you’re thriving, stretching, or running on empty.

Beth and Evelyn talk about moving away from your comfort zone to get from where you are to where you’re going. They tackle the big myth that growth only happens outside your comfort zone by reviewing the different zones of experience (Comfort, Stretch, and Panic).

Beth and Evelyn dive into a truth we’ve all faced: Change happens. Sometimes it’s planned. Sometimes it blindsides us. But either way, it’s inevitable. They and guest speaker, Olivia, will use Dr. Spencer Johnson’s classic parable, Who Moved My Cheese? to talk about how we respond to change determines whether we stay stuck in fear.
