Visitation Sessions (A Podcast)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...2025-06-191h 11

Nothin' But Fine: with Emily TrotterGrace Recognized | Season 3 Ep 11Grace 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...2025-04-3011 min
We Evolve PodcastS4 E14 - Are we focusing on the right things?As we wrap up season 4 and head towards the end of 2024, we thought it would be the perfect time to check-in and make sure we've been focusing on the right things.Where we choose to put our limited amount of energy and attention matters. To put this to the test, we decided to run some of our podcast themes and focus areas through the lens of "the top 5 regrets of the dying" as captured by palliative care nurse Bronnie Ware.

If you have ever looked back at younger you and felt less-than, cringe, sadness or judgement - you are not alone! Today is a reflection of the beautiful and surprising ways the ‘making peace with all the women we once were’’ ritual has unfolded for us. Whether you joined us in doing the ritual or simply witnessed our journey, we hope this inspires you to honour...2024-11-2132 minWe Evolve PodcastS4 E12 - Creation energyToday we’re going a little deeper on a concept that’s really been landing for us - the concept of ‘creation energy’. 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. It’s something we’ve been experimenting with and have a few approaches and too...2024-11-1429 minWe Evolve PodcastS4 E11 - Desire is a map to our most delicious aligned lives (recap)How important are our desires? It seems like so many of our chats come back to knowing what our truest deepest desires are. So much so, that we thought we’d pop this earlier conversation we had back in your feed. For a long time desire felt like a dirty word to us.If we start to connect to and even pursue our deepest desires, will we end up on a slippery slope that leads to our destruction?We discovered that this was one of the subconscious limiting beliefs we’d attached to desire...2024-11-0739 minWe Evolve PodcastS4 E10 - Letting anticipation replace lack & elevate your lifeIn today’s short & sweet chat, we follow on from the theme we started last week about recognising how living in ‘lack’ limits our joy and experience of life. Instead, if we can lean into the juiciness of anticipation, this can replace the space that lack so often fills with fear, elevating our experiences. It’s really about identifying what we desire, then revelling in the journey to fulfilling our goals, dreams and desires.Enjoy! xxSupport the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au...2024-10-3114 minWe Evolve PodcastS4 E9 - Shifting away from a lack mindsetHave you ever woken up thinking I didn't get enough sleep, or gone to bed thinking I didn't get enough exercise or enough done... I'm not rich enough, smart enough, fun enough, pretty enough... I don't have enough time... there aren't enough good dates, jobs, people - and the list goes on. Today we explore a limiting belief that is very sneaky and pervasive. The theme of ‘lack’ or ‘not-enough’ runs deep and keeps us living small, fearful, anxious lives. Lack will always limit the joy and satisfaction we deserve to experience and keep us di...2024-10-2423 minWe Evolve PodcastS4 E8 - Moving from codependency to belonging to yourselfToday’s episode is building on our recent chat about being truthful with ourselves - we’re talking about bringing that self awareness and truth into our relationships. Most of us have developed codependent and people pleasing tendencies as a means of safety and survival in a world that rewards compliance with a sense of belonging. Even if this means denying the truth of our own needs and desires, and suppressing our most potent selves. Belonging trumps authenticity in most cases as it’s more closely tied in with our survival.In codepe...2024-10-1726 minWe Evolve PodcastS4 E7 - Liminal spaces - navigating the void, finding the gold and honouring our transitionsBeing human means we’re constantly shifting through life transitions, shedding layers and growing. We often find ourselves navigating these in between spaces where things can feel ambivalent, uncertain, unknown. Our tendency can be to rush onto the next thing or to fill the void as quickly as possible. Today we’re chatting about….Why does it feel so weird to sit in these liminal spacesWhat is the value and the gift that is wrapped up in these times of ambivalence What choices can we make during the void to not become victim to l...2024-10-1026 minWe Evolve PodcastS4 E6 - Becoming our most potent selvesIn this episode we’re pondering the idea of truth telling with ourselves and the value of being our most potent selves. And why we can sense so much discomfort when we step into new identities and ways of being in the world. We’ve been noticing that sometimes we dull down the potency of our own unique flavours of who we are by diluting what we feel, need or desire so that others are more comfortable with how we are showing up in the world. This conversation explores how this ties into our sense of worthi...2024-10-0327 minWe Evolve PodcastS4 E5 - Our energetic exchanges, and an exploration of what's really happening beyond what meets the eyeIn recent years, we’ve become increasingly aware of the concept of ‘energy’ and thinking about life in terms of energy. Like the energy exchanges we’re making with the world around us.How our energy impacts others.How other people’s energy impacts us.How energy creates the realities we live in.How our energy is our most valuable asset.

You are not alone… Let’s be honest, for many of us it’s been equal parts beautiful and intense and uncomfortable as we step into fresh ways of being in and creating our lives.

It is extremely harsh, cold, and nearly void of most forms of plant life. However, that has not always been the case. The Eocene Epoch was a period where Earth was much hotter than it is today and forests flourished at the poles. This is also when much of the flora we know and love today was just getting its start. Join me and Dr. Jim Basinger as we explore what some incredibly rare fossil deposits are teaching us about forests above the Arctic Circle.

On one side tolerance is a valuable skill that can open up deeper connections to people, ideas and opportunities. But on the other side, it can leave us open to being walked all over and putting up with situations, relationships and interactions that we don’t like or deserve. Often compromising on our true needs, wants and desires. In today’s episode we’re discussing how we’ve both been noticing and thinking about this concept, but from slightly different angles. When we flip the perspective, and think inste...2024-07-1129 min

In Defense of Plants PodcastEp. 479 - Insights into Nightshade DefensesPlants cannot run away from the herbivores that eat them, therefore plants have evolved numerous strategies to defend themselves from being consumed. Plant defenses are as varied as the plant kingdom and the ways in which they operate will blow your mind. We are joined by Dr. Rupesh Kariyat who studies plant defenses in a variety of nightshade relatives including the tomato.

The concept of ‘dream life’ is not just about some far off fantasy, rather it’s about intentionally moving towards creating lives we love. Day by day we get to decide what type of reality we want to create. How about a little romanticising of our own lives - right here, right now?

In Defense of Plants PodcastEp. 478 - Milkweed Defense De-EscalationPlant defense compounds are great for the plants that produce them as they can ward off herbivore attacks. But what happens when a group of specialists evolves a way to utilize said compounds? Such is the case for milkweeds (Apocynaceae) and milkweed butterflies (Danaina). A long evolutionary history together kicked off an evolutionary arms race driven by chemical ecology that is turning into a case of chemical de-escalation for many plants within this family.

And sometimes there are additional, often invisible layers, that impact all areas. Dealing with neurodivergence is one of those invisible layers that creates extra challenges for existing in a society that struggles to support anyone who sits outside the status quo box.

In Defense of Plants PodcastEp. 474 - Untangling Cryptic DiversitySometimes the differences between species are vast (e.g., a maple and an oak) but other times they are subtle to the point of requiring a trained eye and essentially learning a new language. So-called cryptic species are extremely challenging to understand, but that is why spending time in the field can be so rewarding. Moreover, to understand cryptic species is to better understand biodiversity on Earth.

But in doing so we miss out on the gold, the growth and...2024-03-0737 min

Does it feel like you really should be humble and not enjoy the good feeling it can bring because we’ve somehow picked up that it’s ‘bad’ to feel or be proud. Or if someone else is shining bright in whatever way is authentic to them, does it leave you with a feeling that they should just tone it down a bit?

In Defense of Plants PodcastEp. 461 - Litter Trappers RevisitedLitter trapping plants don't worry about soil, they make their own! Because so many species in the tropics grow either epiphytically or in nutrient poor soil, some of them have turned to alternative solutions. Their anatomy is such that they collect everything from dead leaves to bird droppings. A diverse community of soil microbes and invertebrates can then go to work to create nutrient rich humus. What's more, litter trapping abilities can be found in plants as distantly related as ferns and orchids!
