    Ep. 95: Making it in this Weary World
    Dec 2 2024
    The world sure feels weary right now and in this episode we process through some of the main themes in Kathy's book "A Weary World: Reflection for a Blue Christmas"--Honoring Reality, Practicing Honesty, Embracing Paradox, and Borrowing Hope--for 2024. We hope it's nourishing somehow--we realized how much we needed it when we were done recording it!

    Ep. 94: Islands of Sanity
    Nov 11 2024
    Well, folks, here are--a second Trump presidency is coming and so many of us are reeling. In this episode we try to honestly acknowledge what we're up against and how we need to be careful of not feeding the futile that will keep us spinning and weakened and instead consider tangible practices that will help us be as healthy and connected as we can in the weeks and months to come.

  • Ep. 93: False Equivalencies and Breaking Up with Knowing

    Ep. 93: False Equivalencies and Breaking Up with Knowing
    Oct 14 2024
    The fallacy of false equivalencies and "whataboutisms" can really mess with us when it comes to not only the US election but so many other areas of our lives. In this episode we explore that a little more (or, um, ramble about it) along with the importance of "breaking up with knowing" and a false sense of control that comes with trying to predict outcomes and find a way to perceived safety. Oh, and occasionally we make screaming goat sounds.

  • Ep. 92: Late Summer--The Transition Season We All Need

    Ep. 92: Late Summer--The Transition Season We All Need
    Sep 16 2024
    In Traditional Chinese Medicine, there are 5 seasons, not 4. This fifth season is "Late Summer", which starts in mid-August and goes through Fall Equinox and is a place to pause, ground, celebrate, and honor the energy and fruits of Summer intentionally before just barreling into Fall. In the wild season we're living in right now with US politics and the wider world--combined with our own personal realities--it feels so wise to consider what we can learn and apply from this season and that's what we ramble about on this episode!

    Ep. 90: Season 6 is Here and We are on a Wild Ride!
    Sep 9 2024
    Well, we weren't sure what would happen for the Fall but we did think we might come back for some episodes as we navigate this wild political ride we are all on in the USA right now. The election is coming November 5th and so much is on the line. In this episode we basically just catch up on the last few months and the turn of events that have happened since Joe Biden stepped down as the Democratic candidate. Here we go. Strap in, it's going to be an even wilder ride for sure.

    Special Episode 89: It's Been a Rough Week, Peeps!
    Jul 3 2024
    Well, we definitely had no plans to do any episodes this Summer, but in light of the reality of the mash-up of the presidential debate and terrifying Supreme Court decisions--all just a few days before July 4th--we decided to pop up an episode so we could process and hopefully put a few things out into the universe for ourselves and others as we travel this road as a country the next 4 months. Please, if you haven't looked it up yet, check out Project 2025 (we forgot to mention this by name). Wake up, sober up, regulate, listen. This is real and we've got to be as. healthy and educated as we can.
