Ep 24 Life On Easy Street: Is That Where We Want to Live?
In this week's episode we are talking about life on easy street and why that may not be exactly what we are desiring. We take a few different perspectives as we look at this concept through the lens of Ferris Bueller's Day Off as well as through our needs of certainty and uncertainty (variety). When we experience an overwhelming amount of uncertainty and feel as though our skills can't meet the challenges of life, we experience more emotions of anxiety and overwhelm. However, when our variety in life becomes too little and predictable, our skills aren't able to be...

Ep 22: Equanimity: The Balance In the Game of Life You Truly Seek
This week's show is all about the practice of equanimity and how we might incorporate this to navigate the game of life. As we've worked with clients in our coaching practices, we both hear from them regularly that they would like to experience more balance.

In this week's episode we continue our dynamic conversation on the Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. We discuss the last two agreements which are: Don't Make Assumption and Do Your Best.

Ep 18 Words of Wisdom: Unlocking Freedom with the Four Agreements Part 1
This week we are discussing the book "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz. This book was originally published in 1997 and we expound on the profound impact that it had on both of us as we were awakening to the opportunities to live differently on our journeys. We begin by discussing the concept of the dream of life and the dream of the world as illusion and how we are 'demosticated' into the world by being given a book of beliefs that we often subscribe to, but not always.

Ep 16 Feelings Unveiled: Part 1
This episode is part 1 of our topic on feelings. What are they, where do they come from…and how do we get rid of them? (Just kidding!) Of all the things we contend with in a day, feelings are probably the most straight forward and also the most confusing things in our daily life.
