    Ta-Da Lists & Game Nights

    Fall invites fresh routines—and sometimes overwhelm. In this warm, playful episode, Jamie and Max talk about breaking big projects into doable steps, celebrating “ta-da” moments, and why our brains often relax when they’re in task mode. Then they head to the game table: childhood classics that sparked sibling rivalries (Monopoly, Uno), brainy word play (Scrabble, Spelling Bee, Wordle, crosswords), strategy builders (chess, backgammon), card-night staples (poker, gin, cribbage), spontaneous napkin games (tic-tac-toe, hangman, charades), and a visually striking favorite, Ouisi, that Jamie uses to teach perspective-taking. You’ll hear how games create shared experiences, sharpen thinking, and deliver those tiny “jolts of joy” we all crave on long winter evenings.

    A Dilly of a Conversation: Pickleball and the Beginner's Mind

    In this episode, Jamie revisits the year she ran her business like an experiment—testing ideas, tracking results, and reviewing the data with compassion instead of perfectionism. Max jumps in with a real-world example: learning pickleball as a complete beginner. We talk mindset over metrics, “good shots vs. next-time shots,” and how community makes new skills stick. You’ll hear practical ways to design your own mini-experiments, record what matters, and adjust with intention—on the court, at work, and in daily life.

    Our Cup Runneth Over: A Mead Tasting with Luke Wetzler (part 2)

    Some days we’re rivers—wide open, flowing, generous. Other days we’re bowls or even cups—able to receive and give, but in smaller measure. In this on-location episode, Jamie introduces a simple capacity lens for relationships: cups, bowls, and rivers. We explore how knowing your current capacity (and sensing someone else’s) can prevent friction, honor limits, and keep connection kind. Then we sit down with returning guest Luke Wetzler of Back 40 Meadery for a guided tasting: a dry plum session mead; Island Romance (calamansi lime + Northwest huckleberry); a traditional honey-water-yeast mead; and a bright cherry session mead made with fruit from Green Bluff. Along the way: what off-gassing does to aroma and color, why adding fresh juice back in matters, the (playful) “honeymoon” origin story, and how creative people refuel after pouring themselves out. If you’ve ever felt “overpoured” or misunderstood—or if you’re simply mead-curious—this one’s for you.

    The Ancient Magic of Mead with Luke Wetzler

    Episode 40—cheers to the Back 40! To celebrate our 40th episode, we took the show on the road to Back 40 Meadery in North Spokane. The theme fits: forty episodes strong, and we’re reflecting on the little wins that got us here. We open with Max’s pickleball insight—big wins vs. little wins—and Jamie connects it to real-life communication: sometimes the “win” isn’t proving you’re right, it’s making the experience better for everyone. Then, on location at Back 40 Meadery, owner Luke Wetzler shares how a late-night hobby became a small-batch business. Luke walks us through must (the fermentable base), melomels (fruit meads), and why his “raw” meads are vegan, gluten-free, and sulfur-free—clean, bright, and fruit-forward. We dip into mead’s ancient history (ambrosia, anyone?), the beer–mead hybrid braggot, and the scrappy ingenuity of launching a tasting room.

    You are More Than Your Job

    We’re more than our résumés. Yet it’s easy to let titles, salaries, and status define who we are. In this conversation, Jamie and Max explore the cultural scripts that tie identity to employment—and offer simple practices to expand your self-definition with curiosity and kindness. Highlights: Language shifts that reduce “work” baggage (try contribution, practice, craft, service, calling, flow, making). Three reflection prompts to meet yourself beyond the paycheck. A playful Calling Card 2.0 you can hand out to spark real connection—human first, role second. Redefining success through creativity, resilience, community, and joy, not just recognition and rank. Why integration beats “work/life separation,” and how permission helps you rebalance across seasons. Walk away with practical words, tiny experiments, and a kinder inner script: you are a whole human—your job is just one part of your story.

    Around the Digital Campfire: Tell Your Story

    This episode is a warm, down-to-earth chat about the magic of storytelling: how our voices carry history, build connection, and even help us heal and imagine the future. We trace storytelling from ancient oral traditions to today’s “digital campfires.” You’ll hear why stories light up the brain (for teller and listener), how they can heal—or harm—and why your voice is an irreplaceable fingerprint. Plus, we share practical ways to begin: audio journaling, capturing your family’s oral history, and finding community story stages. You’ll also get five quick tips to tell a tighter, more vivid story and a list of places to listen and learn.

    From Dissonance to Bliss: The Healing Power of Sound with Hannah Talbot

    Fall carries its own soundtrack—wind in the chimes, rain on the roof, and yes…pumpkin-season comforts. In this episode, we welcome back Hannah, meditation teacher and somatic educator, and the founder of Anam Cara Healing Center in downtown Spokane. We explore why September feels like a fresh “new year,” how seasonal rituals root and steady us, and how sound—from crystal bowls and drums to rain sticks and wave drums—can move the body from fight-or-flight into rest, digest, and restore. Hannah breaks down consonance and dissonance (think C + F vs. that suspenseful E–F “Jaws” half-step), the chakra-note framework many sound bath practitioners use, and why intentional tension + release can gently “unstick” us. We talk parasympathetic activation, theta/delta brain states, pain and inflammation relief, and the surprisingly profound role of silence at the end of a session. There’s even a live “sound & tell” segment, plus the origin story of how Thrive-Learn-Connect got its name. If you’ve been craving a nervous-system reset, this episode offers a cozy seasonal doorway back to yourself—and a few simple ways to bring sound home.

    Sing Like No One’s Listening: Finding Joy in Your Voice

    Welcome to Season 3 of Thrive, Learn, Connect! In our first episode, Jamie and Max dive into the power of singing—not as a polished performance, but as a deeply human act of joy, connection, and self-expression. From car karaoke and childhood songs to beer choir and spontaneous pub sing-alongs, they share personal stories and cultural insights about how song has always brought people together. Along the way, you’ll learn about the physical and emotional benefits of singing, including stress reduction, lung strength, and enhanced brain function. Plus, Max offers simple exercises—from humming to kazooing—that you can try right away. The big takeaway: when you find your singing voice, you may just find your voice in other areas of life, too.
