Everything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks45. Your Humanity is a Prism Not a PrisonWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, I return after almost a 6 week break to explore a spiritual pain point: the idea that the body and the soul are separated and at war with each other. I share some details with my long journey with Hashimoto's and personal spiritual path and notice how I spent many years trying to diminish, dismiss, and tame my body so that it couldn't cause "problems"...2024-04-1947 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks44. Following Fear, Befriending Your Feral SelfWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, I open up about some of my journey with chronic illness and a new invitation I'm receiving about how to engage with it. I explore the concept of becoming a friend to oneself by looking at the ancient storytelling concept of following your fear--something that sounds very different from following your heart, but is actually a deep expression of that same thing.

In this week's episode, I share a real-time example of my own inner listening and reflection practice. So often, I think these practices feel stodgy or dogmatic or ideological, like we have to do them the "right" way or else. In my experience, that's just old traditions and my fear and wounding talking. In every day life doing this practice, the examen truly arrives as a friend with...2024-02-0830 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks42. The Magic of Iteration: How Roses + Soup Help Us Ditch Conformity, Competition, and JealousyWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we talk about FOMO (fear of missing out) and also jealousy, imposter syndrome, and feeling like we've missed our boat. We explore these by first noticing seeds and sparks within us, those active longings and desires that stir within our being, but sometimes seem really vague. We want to do *something*, we feel an urge to create, to make, to risk...but we aren't...2024-01-2540 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks41. Can We Trust Our Wants? Creating Some Wiggle Room WithinWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, I share about a conversation with a friend where we wondered whether we can trust our wants. Are they just appetites we need to regard with caution? Are they the beginning of something glorious? Are they selfish? What if we were told our wants were sinful or futile and pointless? How do we embody our wants and desires and enter into relationship with them...2024-01-1949 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksIt's Winter So I Still Have No Goals: A New Way of Approaching the New YearWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, I give you a snapshot of how I approach the new year and how it doesn't yet involve a word of the year, resolutions, goals, or even a clear vision. After years of an inner listening and reflection practice, I've learned that the winter-ness of January supersedes the cultural push of a fresh start. All this talk of new year, new you, doesn't resonate...2024-01-1138 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksSolstice & Vulnerable Light: Even Jesus is Fragile Right NowWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we talk about the winter solstice and its invitation to be still and to notice the restlessness within us, the stillness of what persists in our life that we wish would be over or would hurry up.
And from this dual approach to stillness, we're invited into a deeper stillness within, a kind of sacred sanctuary we hold in our beings as...2023-12-2132 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksThe Sacred Opportunity of Letting Your Imagination Run Away With YouWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we look at the sacred invitation of letting our imagination run away with us. When we are focused on goals and outcomes, we can see imagination as something that distracts us. We can even suggest that imagination wrongly tempts us! But many spiritual practices are rooted in imagination and letting ourselves be led by it.
When we dream and explore from the back of imagination...2023-12-1445 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksA Vessel for All the Little Things: Things I Would Tell You if You Were HereWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, I share a way I've been trying to stay connected to love ones who aren't around as much anymore. We talk about all the little things our days hold, all the ways we connect with each other, ourselves, and the Sacred: small conversations, reports on nothing in particular, song lyrics that are stuck in our head. On the surface, none of this is important or has meaning...2023-12-0830 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksInterview with Mary DeJong, Ecotheologian and StorycarrierI am excited to welcome my friend and Iona soul guide, Mary DeJong, on today's podcast. Today, we will be talking about how Story connects us to the earth, ourselves, and each other as an expression and vehicle of the sacred. She will gift us with telling the Inuit story of Fox Woman Dreaming, a beautiful, but challenging story about belonging to self and each other.
*Show note: Fox Woman Dreaming contains an expletive within its story. This is important for the tone of what is being shared.
Mary is a spiritual ecologist, ecotheologian, wild...2023-11-301h 14Everything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksTwo Invitations: One from Sacred Story, One from the Shadow + Light of the HolidaysWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, I share two invitations with you. The first one is to join me for an upcoming podcast episode where my teacher and friend, Mary DeJong of Waymarkers, will tell the story of Fox Woman Dreaming and encourage us to listen to Story's sacred presence and wisdom more often. I spend the first part of this episode sharing my own love of story and applied mythology and introducing...2023-11-1645 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksSparks to Seeds: Listening to Daily Triggers as a Source of WisdomWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we explore the provocative, yet sacred invitation that our daily triggers can hold. We do this through the lens of the examen practice, of daily reflection and listening within. In the ritual of the examen, there are a pair of powerful questions that sit in the center of the practice. They ask us where and when we felt deep connection to ourselves and the...2023-11-1049 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksConnecting to Love Via the Thinning Veils Within Us + REO Speedwagon SongsWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we consider a deep (maybe the taproot?) invitation from Samhain, All Soul's Day, and All Saint's Day which is: If this is a short season where the veil is thin, how can we connect to the thinning veils within us? This feels important because we have to decide whether we are going to open our hearts to Sacred presence or not. We have to...2023-11-0240 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksCast in Shadow: Trusting The Umbra Within UsWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we look at why we often resist the invitation to listen within and practice reflection. The fact is, we can encounter a lot of painful or shadowy stuff when we do practices like this. And our response can (naturally) be one of, "Why should I dig up all this stuff again?"
But in our avoidance of journeying within and...2023-10-2649 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksStanding on Storms: Finding Hope When Life ChurnsWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we name the catastrophic human loss the world is experiencing through war as well as earthquakes, fires, and flooding, and talk about how we can engage with peace by learning to calm our inner storms in response. When we do this, we remember our humanity and the humanity of others, making it harder to give into acts of vengeance, revenge, or applied chaos. We...2023-10-1952 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksSacred Wildness at the Door and in Our Throats: Poems and Questions for UncertaintyWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we name our painful shared context right now: war, climate catastrophe, and ongoing pandemic while we also naming our personal pains and struggles (I articulate a few of my own as example). We acknowledge the despair that comes with all of these, how it feels like we might be at a breaking point. We consider that a breaking point is also called a threshold, and then notice...2023-10-1241 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksMailbag: Different Names for God + Engaging with Oracle & Tarot CardsWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, I answer two questions I get A LOT: Why do I use so many different names for God/Spirit/Sacred/The Divine? (see? I did it again :D ) and How do I engage with and use spiritual cards such as: prayer cards, oracle decks, and Tarot?
In talking about why I use so many different names for Spirit, we consider how language is an act...2023-10-0553 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksBeneath the Veil of Fear: Surprising Growth Invitations from HalloweenWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we look at the insightful gifts we can receive when we engage with symbols and stories that often scare us. This is not the same as worshiping what scares us, or agreeing with everything that scares us. It's about being engaged so that our fear doesn't grow. What I mean by "engage" is staying open and curious and non-judgmental rather than trying to admonish or defeat our...2023-09-2846 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksA Soul Question for the Equinox + An Invitation from HalloweenWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we explore two invitations: one from the autumnal (and spring) equinox, and one from Halloween. Both are offered as seasonal lenses into deeper self-reflection, self-love, and connection to Spirit.
The equinox is a day where we experience equal amounts of daylight and nighttime (roughly). Through this, a reflection question emerges: where do we notice mutuality and healthy balance in our daily lives and in our...2023-09-2127 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksPause and Listen Within: A Guided Examen Practice for YouWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, I share more about the sacred presence and magic already alive in our daily lives and how a reflection practice reminds us of this. Then, I lead you in a guided examen, an inner listening exercise where you look back on your day or week and then plan ahead a bit. We listen to moments of deep soul connection as well as deep soul disconnection and ask...2023-09-1552 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksWhat Even IS Solid Ground? Exploring Rates of Change & Inner ResistanceWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we talk about the need for solid ground and certainty (ok, we talk about how *I* need that...or think I need that in life) and how maybe it's not realistic given that the one constant in life is change. We look to rocks, geology, and their own metamorphic nature to consider how even the most stable things in life still experience change. We explore how change...2023-09-0854 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksOur Connection Waxes & Wanes: Spiritual Hospitality from the CosmosWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we stay in the cosmos letting the moon (and stars) offer us invitations into radical self-acceptance and love. I have often experienced, in my spiritual journey, an unspoken "rule" that suggests that if a person ever feels disconnected from their true self and/or the Divine, it's because they are not faithful enough, not doing ritual or prayer correctly, or are somehow tainting their intentions or energies...2023-08-3158 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksMercury Retrograde's Invitations Into Compassionate Reflection + Inner ListeningWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we talk about mercury retrograde from two perspectives: astronomical and astrological and how both form a beautiful invitation into self-reflection and compassionate inner listening.
If you love syncing with the rhythms of nature and the universe as a way to prompt, nudge, and encourage your own rhythm of spiritual practice and inner listening (to self and Sacred), you're going to enjoy this unique look at...2023-08-2544 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksThe Magic of Chop Wood, Carry Water: Seeing Enlightenment and Your Own Being as a Threshold to Sacred PresenceWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we talk about the Zen Buddhist invitation: Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. I've been home from my Iona pilgrimage for a few weeks now and some things feel like a hamster wheel again. They feel hard and intractable. I'm remembering this Zen Buddhist invitation from past Zen teachers who let me live into different responses to it. This week, we...2023-08-181h 00Everything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksIona Invitations Around Personal Exile and Removing Layers to Come Home to YourselfWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, I share more deeply about my spiritual growth experiences in Iona, Scotland. I am not surprised that I was surprised by the gift of pilgrimage. It turns out, I needed to get out of my mind and settle into the body of the island and the body of my own being. My personal transformation was rooted in embodiment and invitations into greater embodiment.
I want...2023-08-1051 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksThe Way Knows the Way: Some Thoughts on Returning Home from PilgrimageWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, I share a little about returning from Iona where I was on recently on pilgrimage. The experience was life-changing in unexpected ways...exactly what we expect from transformational journeys and spiritual coddiwompling. I will have more to share over the next few weeks, but the first invitation I'm offering you from my experience is a gift Iona gave me which is a fundamental re-framing of our innate...2023-08-0730 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksUnearthing in the In-Between: Letting the Light Shine on Our Needs + WantsWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we take another look at summer's invitation to go within, to take refuge from the heat of our lives and the heat of our emotions and enter an inner journey of self-reflection. One thing we might notice when we do, are the well-worn paths and thoughts that animate many of our beliefs and actions, but don't actually serve our transformation any longer. We might notice that when...2023-07-0651 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksChiron and the Cosmic Christ Sit By a Campfire: Entering Our Wounds as We Venture the Unknown (and Bus Fare)Welcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we are revisiting themes of pilgrimage and transformational journeys into the unknown. I share some of my fears and anxieties about my upcoming trip to Iona, Scotland and have a good laugh at myself...while also acknowledging how incredibly scary it can be to say "yes" to Mystery. We think we're giving consent for a particular adventure and path only to realize a bit later that there...2023-06-2952 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksThe Quiet of Stillness, the Persistence of Stillness, and the Invitation to Savor and then Store: Loving Dualism from the Solstice:Welcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we look at a few dualistic/double-sided invitations from the solstice. The first comes from the concept of stillness. The word solstice translates to "the sun stands still" and this idea of stillness offers us two spiritual reflection points. One is the persistence of what it means for something to be still. In other words, what is sticking around in your life? What is not going away...2023-06-2235 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksThe Pilgrimage + Epic Adventure of Coming Home to Ourselves and to Places Once Left BehindWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we talk about what it means to come home to ourselves spiritually speaking, how we find that inner sanctuary of perpetual love and acceptance that abides within us. And what we sink our teeth into is how this is not necessarily easy or obvious. It's a journey all its own, to find and reclaim our inner peace. We also talk about coming home to old places and...2023-06-1556 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksGod of the Forge: Working Our Inner Fire with a Spirit of TransformationWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we start with pilgrimage (again) with a focus on the gatekeeping and resistance that comes after we've said, "Yes, I wanna do this. I wanna take a risk towards transformation!" I share a personal story of my own resistance (do we call it a nightmare or a haunting? Maybe.) against my upcoming pilgrimage to Iona, Scotland. And from this place of personal resistance, we start to name...2023-06-0858 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksWe Are Not Building Cathedrals Anymore: Embodied Liminality, Lingering Goodbyes, and Porch RhythmsWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, I share what I call Porch Rhythms, a metaphor to welcome embodied liminality or how to give yourself space and time when you are in the middle of a transition. Just like a porch is neither in the house or totally outside of it, we have ways we occupy and honor seasonal transformations. For this episode, we look at some of the ordinary "interruptions" we experience, like...2023-06-0141 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksGrowing An Ordinary Community of Saints: The Sacred Found Family of Everything from Chairs, Otters, to PeopleWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we explore sacred circles, our personal communion of saints, a kind of soul-centered found family of people, animals, objects, and stories that not only help to define us, but help to anchor us and connect us with our community and the wider universe. I talk about how my dad and I agreed to be reincarnated as otters if that's an option, how working in the garden and...2023-05-1850 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksEndings Are New Beginnings: Wrapping Up the Ritual of the ExamenWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we wrap up our mini series on the ritual practice of inner listening and self-reflection known as the examen. It is not traditional, but I share with you how I was taught to end this practice and how I now teach others to end it, which is to return to the beginning: gratitude. Stopping where we start helps us notice the spiral-like nature of growth and life...2023-05-1153 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksThe Examen Ritual Step 5: Setting Intentions with Wild SpiritWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we look at two aspects of what it means to look ahead and set intentions. We consider goal setting and ticking off things from our to-do list as a way to nourish and provision ourselves for what's coming up. But we also consider how this focus on getting things done can suppress our ability and willingness to hear the wild and untamed voice of Spirit calling out...2023-05-041h 03Everything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksThe Examen Ritual Step 4: Mending & Tending to Ourselves and Each OtherWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, I share my interpretation of what it means to mend and tend to our relationships. We discuss not only the important work of apology and changed behavior, and personal accountability, but new interpretations of what amend-making means. We consider our relationships as gardens where resources get drained from real world experience and every day life, and how amending those relationships might involve resourcing them in new ways...2023-04-2753 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksThe Examen Ritual Step 3: Receptivity and Listening Beneath the SurfaceWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we sink into the practice and the belly of our being in Step 3 of the examen ritual. We talk about listening beneath the surface of our day and our being by letting moments of deep connection and disconnection find us, and then asking ourselves and Spirit what wisdom and insight might want to be shared through these lenses.
I'm Jen Cobble Willhoite, a contemplative storyteller...2023-04-201h 05Everything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksThe Examen Ritual Step 2: Looking Back and Re-membering OurselvesWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we continue our exploration of the examen practice, a daily ritual of self-reflection and inner listening rooted in our everyday experience. This is a pragmatic spiritual practice I've relied on for over 10 years. It helps me make decisions that align with my true self, it helps me listen to my own inner wisdom and differentiate it from my inner critic or "old tapes". It helps me befriend...2023-04-1348 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksGratitude is a Form of Mutual Seeing and Telling the Truth About YourselfWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we explore step 1 of the examen more deeply and broadly. We look at gratitude and how it is more expansive than a list of what is good in our lives. It is actually a form of mutual seeing, where we begin to notice the unique ways Spirit reaches out to us and the unique ways we are enlivened by the world.
Additionally, gratitude helps us...2023-04-0658 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksFinding Hope When We Feel Despair: Reflections on "I Wonder..."Welcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, I share how much I need affirmations and words of assurance, especially when I feel a sense of hopelessness and despair. But the fact is, I can't receive the gift of affirmations until I actually feel my hopelessness and despair and listen to what wisdom it might be offering me. Affirmation isn't helpful if it bypasses our human experience in the name of spirituality or goodness.

In this week's episode, I introduce my FAVORITE spiritual practice, the examen, and my unique approach to it. The examen is a daily ritual of inner listening, self-reflection, and connection to the Sacred (however you name that). It has helped me get to know myself, embrace my humanity, heal wounds, do shadow work, practice accountability, set intentions, and cultivate a unique relationship to the Sacred. It is a spiritual and mindfulness...2023-03-231h 04Everything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksBefriending Uncertainty as the Place Where Infinite Possibility is BornWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
In this week's episode, we talk about uncertainty and how it can be so painful and cornering, that the only thing we (often) end up feeling is tremendous fear. And also...uncertainty marks a threshold, a place of the Unknown and Mystery where all things are possible because no things are yet determined which means we are being gifted something HUGE: the opportunity to pay attention and see a bigger horizon.2023-03-1645 minEverything Speaks If You Listen with Jen CobbleWorksInvitations from the Full Moon + A Guided MeditationWelcome to Everything Speaks if You Listen with Jen CobbleWorks where we befriend our humanity and the Sacred through story, soul questions, and every day life.
