    Living With

    What started out as a reflection on a cross-country drive with my Mom ended up being a reflection on what has been true about my life and this podcast all along....How I live with the darkness. Thank you for letting me share honestly with you. Hope it connects.

    Look For The Helpers

    This is a long one! Chronicling my journey to Texas to present at a conference and ALL of the adventures that ensued! Also, looking at the choices we have, in any given moment, as to how we want to be in the world. Suffering versus struggling, Thankful versus tantrums, seeking out ways to live with one another as Companions and helpers. During challenging times, this experience taught me so much about how I choose to move through my life. I hope it helps you as well. Thank you for listening.

    Road Trips and Dad

    A meandering journey of reflecting on the 17th of September, Maddie, my love of road trips, the return of "the worst roommate in the world," and - ultimately - about how I am always still learning to Surthrive in this life. Grateful, for all of it. Thank you for listening.

    Tightrope Walking

    A generous human shared some words he wrote with me and they inspired an onslaught of reflections, thoughts, and questions. The concept of choice, of how we think, of how we create, of how we live our lives....Yeah, it's all in there! And with a song as well. Thank you so much for listening!

    A Weekend Full of Maddie

    Although she often checks in with me, I had to share about this recent weekend I had that was simply full of Maddie! From a dream to the return of a piece of furniture to an engraved brick, Maddie reminded me of a truth that I always hold on to: That I am never alone. So Grateful for that.

    The One I Feed

    A sharing that spans the expanse from my foot in a boot to Black Holes. From Nietzsche to Hawking to an Indigenous Grandfather. This one may be short, it most definitely goes deep. This is what happens when I'm told to sit down for a few weeks! Thank you for taking the journey along with me.

    All Inclusive

    Exploring the concept of Both And and the experience of living life in the threshold. That learning curve of "no-longer-this-yet-not-quite-that-yet." Also known as Goo Time. Instead of life being one thing OR another, we walk through some examples of it being Both And. Along with a peppy song!

    What Spring Brings

    Spring is a problematic season for me. It always has been. However, this year, it is just a bit trickier. Please join me in a reflection about change, moving, discovery, and trust. And, did I mention change? Yeah, I know I did. Thank you for listening.
