Episode 29: Thoughts on Mother’s Day
Mothers’ Day is both a day to celebrate and to grieve. Some are celebrating the mothers they still have. Other’s are grieving the moms they lost or never knew. Still others, find themselves doing both while also being celebrated as a mother. It’s a day that brings up any number of emotions. The last two or three years, my own grief has ambushed me on Mothers’ Day. I’ve felt blindsided by it, quite frankly. Strange still, my mothers are still alive.

Episode 28: What Would It Take to meet our fears with curiosity?
We’ve all seen it right? The trope about why people die in horror movies? You hear a dangerous noise,
so go outside to investigate, and boom, the killer got you. In that moment, I think to myself, you weren’t
afraid enough. A little fear, will go a long way in keeping someone alive right?
You should be afraid to touch a hot stove, or to drive drunk or to eat a poisonous berry. That’s good
fear. But sometimes, our fears can go into overdrive. We can even become dependent upon them and
they go from being a survival tool to a crutch.
So how do you know the difference? -

Love this!
I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation with Rev. Chesla. You both were informative and fun to listen to! Keep up the good work!
Eloquent, brave and interesting
Great listen! Benjamin is very thoughtful and articulate as he discusses complex topics. This is a fun and interesting podcast about important themes that somehow manages not to feel too heavy or tragic. I wish I had the courage to share my beliefs as clearly as the host does! Love the premise for this show and highly recommend!
