ZLORD podcast

We're all humans. It's only natural we experience depression and anxiety, at some level, sooner or later. But what to do when this challenging time hits us, oftentimes right between the eyes! Sending us reeling! Carter and teZa Lord offer their methods in their 100th podcast of ZLORD, this time about how they deal with every human life's ubiquitous challenge of "negative emotions." And what lessons they bring us. The conversation has a lot to do with "putting currency into our spiritual bank." see tezalord.com for more

Carter and teZa Lord discuss the spiritual concept of self versus others. This applies to social obligations, being kind and respectful, and in today's ideologically divisive world, letting the "other guy" have their say without judgment. Anti-vaxers is, again, an unavoidable issue. So is "being not-neurotic." Respecting others is part of the healing power of Love. tezalord.com for more.

teZa Lord, author of 4 nonfiction books, explores how she ensures that each day is another opportunity to achieve the highest possibility available. Here, she shares how she takes time daily, to look at her own life. And weigh the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of what's going on around and within her, and make adjustments if she can. The goal is to promote a balanced life, especially when healing as she is from major surgery. Being conscious of one's needs is where anyone starts. Recovering from surgery makes this balance of every human more important than at other times. tezalord.com for more.

Life is filled with both joys and sorrows. No one is free of hard times, yet we all try to focus on positives. Today teZa shares about how she's healing from the physical trauma of having had major surgery, earlier in the week. She relates this to how everyone gets to choose to experience the most out of life. Choices have a lot to do with recovery, and rebounding back from devastating events. Using her cervical neck fusion as an example, listeners are invited to practice a little self-inquiry of their own, and to surrender even more deeply to the joy of Being alive.

Cohosts teZa and Carter Lord reflect about how the unexpected happens, often causing us to use our ability of discernment. Or, wishing to improve our level of happiness, we are sometimes forced to let go of something, or someone. Some of us have had to learn how to discriminate, which is done without judgement. Here, the two Lords discuss some ways in which they use this spiritual tool, and how it's made their lives so much better. See tezalord.com for more.

Expect change in both big and subtle ways. Here, co-hosts teZa and Carter Lord introduce a new focus to their 2-year-old podcast. The new log-line announces specific subjects they'll explore: Spirit, Adventure, Our Interconnected Oneness, and the Magic That Exists In Our Everyday Lives. Instead of previous episodes' self-made musical intro (delightful to teZ, not so much for Carter) the pair discuss being more focused. And ... the BIG unexpected change happening in their planned 3-month car-and-tent sojourn. See tezalord.com for more magic via books, art, videos, etc.

Life is constant change with very little remaining the same. Some of us have difficulty with this so teZa and Carter discuss the big change handed them yesterday. An unexpected doctor's diagnosis that flabbergasted yet relieved not-knowing. No matter what type of change you're facing, you'll relate to the honest conversation the irrepressibly hilarious and forthright Lords reveal about how they are processing (or not!) this latest change. A change that has altered their yearlong longed-for getaway of 3 months, forcing them to return home in less then two weeks. What changes next? Visit tezalord.com for inspiring ideas.

teZa and Carter Lord are readying to take off on the continuation of their car-and-tent-camping adventure, the documenting of which inspired the creation of the ZLORD podcast two years ago. When the Covid-19 pandemic struck, everyone's plans went into disarray.

Stay tuned for weekly installments recorded from either the next campsite, or on their way to it. With no itinerary, the couple's destination is to explore the majestic Southwest, including BLM-land (Bureau of Land Management) and off-the-beat spots of this beautiful country.
