    The Good Fight

    Today is the day to talk about not today...but yesterday, and tomorrow.  We cover how to be for ourselves when our behaviors don't change, no matter how hard we try.  I discuss pivoting in the direction of what we are interested in, rather than scolding ourselves for not having want we want more than life. Fact is, if we want something more than life...there's something bigger going on we ought to take a look at--Cause life's where its at!!!

    The Grief Episode

    Today I discuss the gifts of grief. I discuss the integration of grief, sobriety & love. We can see how grief acts as a deconstruction of the people/concepts/things we love, and is a vehicle to remind us of the value we have assigned to them. There is also discussion around the naturally unfolding creative flow that can occur when we are present to and intimate with, grief; it helps us to process both the large and subtle losses of our lives.

    Talk with Husk Nashville's former Executive Sous Chef Davis Reese, on Boundaries, Baking & Being Honest

    Our episode this week is rich in Davis Reese's story of getting sober, finding a new medium of creativity in culinary/pastry work, and seeing the ways in which he could create boundaries while still being a shoulder and friend to those in need who ask. Davis found boundaries, baking and big belly laughs in sobriety. Ironically, I mention Davis getting "full" so as to be able to give-- Funny, because he's a chef...eh? eh? I'm funny! Okay.

    The Keys to Success are Kindness & Rest

    In today's episode we discuss the antitheses of Kindness & Rest, which are Exhaustion & Hatred. I bring up the importance of the inner world and how it shapes the outer world; therefore how the information we allow into our experience is a direct result of the thoughts and actions we practice.
