True Travel Nightmares (and other stories from the road)
We’re all getting ready to hit the road for vacations and/or tours, so we thought we would spend an hour analyzing our own particular form of crazy: traveling with small children. Why do we do it? When don’t we do it? And what’s the very worst that can happen? (Hint, it involves starving children and diesel fuel). In our luggage this week, are some of the really wonderful novels for children and adults published by Ignatius Press. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Ignatius devotes to publishing contemporary (and classic) Catholic...

Nothin' But Fine: with Emily Trotter
Grace Recognized | Season 3 Ep 11
Grace recognized. I came across this phrase a few months ago. I loved it immediately and the more I have sat with it, the more I have come to appreciate it. Grace is a word we hear and use a lot. The authors of scripture use it as a greeting and as a goodbye. Have you ever said, “We will see you tomorrow, by the grace of God.” Have you stopped to weigh just what that word means? In the Greek: charis- as a gift or blessing brought to man by Jesus Christ; derived from the Greek verb...

When you’re in survival mode in any area of your life - be it your relationships, work, finance, health, friendships… going from ‘surviving to thriving’ can feel like an impossible leap. But stepping into the creator energy opens up the space of possibility, especially when we build momentum by taking small steps within the realms of close proximity first.

Competition for nutrients is a major driver of plant evolution, especially in nutrient-poor soils. As such, plants have evolved myriad ways of getting a "root up" on the competition. Dr. Jim Dalling joins us to discuss two recent discoveries related to two species with distinct and incredible root adaptations aimed at maximizing nutrient capture in highly competitive tropical ecosystems.

S2 E12 - Deeply trusting ourselves
While most of us would probably say that we trust ourselves, it’s interesting to notice just how much mental & emotional energy we waste going back & forth on some decisions. If you are anything like us, you may have experienced the mental merri-go-round of trying to make a decision, the right decision, the best decision. Only to spin yourself into a web of confusion. We’ve realised that a lack of self trust saps our ability to feel peace & pleasure, not just in the day to day, but also in the bigger life-path decisions we all fac...

In a world that glorifies selflessness - especially for women - let’s talk about why it’s crucial to reclaim a bit of selfishness in our lives. While abandoning our own needs, wants and desires helps keep the peace and maintain the status quo, many of us experience exhaustion and depletion, and just can't shake that feeling of resentment that starts to creep in. When we’re in a state of disconnect from ourselves, it’s incredibly tricky to show up as the people we want to be - not just for those we care about...
