    55. Why Does Everything Feel So Disconnected?

    In Episode 55 of The Morning Share, Angela and Deanna explore what happens when reciprocity breaks down and life becomes all consumption with little contribution. From social media and productivity culture to rest, nature, and relationships, they unpack how modern life can leave us disconnected, exhausted, and numb when we lose touch with the rhythms that sustain healthy living. This conversation is an honest invitation to slow down, pay attention, and rediscover what it means to live in right relationship with ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

    54. How Do We Give Back?

    Episode 54 of The Morning Share continues the conversation on nature, formation, and what it means to truly participate in the world around us. Angela and Deanna explore reciprocity—not as obligation, but as a beautiful rhythm of giving and receiving that exists throughout creation. From playground seesaws and tetherball memories to forests, bees, rivers, and belonging, this episode asks an honest question: are we simply consuming life, or are we contributing to its flourishing? Together, they reflect on how reciprocity shapes inner formation, restores balance, and awakens a deeper sense of connection, meaning, and belonging.

    52. What Does Nature Teach Us?

    What if conservation isn’t about restriction, but relationship? In Episode 52, Angela and Deanna unpack how our understanding of consumption, limits, and care shapes the way we interact with the world around us—and with each other. Through stories, humor, reflections on nature, and spiritual insight, they explore the idea that conservation may actually be love stretched beyond the moment. This conversation moves beyond politics and performance into something deeply personal: learning to ask not just “What do I want right now?” but “What needs to remain?” From ecosystems and heirlooms to rhythms, rest, and wisdom, this episode invites us to rethink what it means to tend to the world instead of simply using it. Because maybe conservation begins with one simple question: What is worth protecting? Timestamps 00:00 — Conservation as devotion, not deprivation 02:16 — Childhood perceptions of conservation & politics 10:43 — Consumption vs. conservation: different questions 18:32 — Why proximity creates care and connection 23:34 — What nature teaches us about limits and wisdom 29:52 — How imbalance affects both people and the planet Show Music: Just Like Me by, ThruLine The Morning Share Podcast is produced, edited, and mixed by Angela Boeckman and Deanna West.

    51. What Is Our Appetite Teaching Us?

    In this episode, Ang and D continue their conversation on gratitude and the created world — this time asking: What do we do with a gift? If the Earth is truly a gift, how do we interact with it? The answer leads them into a rich discussion about consumption, conservation, appetite, and what it means to live within limits. They explore: Why consumption itself isn't the enemy — but unconscious, limitless consumption isWhat nature's cycles can teach us about healthy consumption (wolves, elk, beavers, and the Teton ecosystem)How Western "more is better" culture has warped our sense of need and safetyThe difference between consuming tangible things and consuming attention, people's time, and spiritual resourcesHow marketing redefines "safety" to keep us in a cycle of desire and dissatisfactionConsumerism within religious communities and institutionsThe power of micro-shifts, restraint, and redefining "enough"Timestamps 00:00 – When a gift changes how we live 02:40 – Small “micro-shifts” toward mindfulness 04:57 – Treasured heirlooms and caring for gifts 10:58 – Healthy consumption vs. endless appetite 16:10 – What nature teaches us about balance 30:54 – How marketing reshapes our definition of “safe” Show Music: Just Like Me by, ThruLine The Morning Share Podcast is produced, edited, and mixed by Angela Boeckman and Deanna West.
