So much of our existence and experience in life is determined by how we interpret the events that are consistently happening around us. Whether consciously or subconsciously, we are always taking in these stimuli and filtering them through our personal internal operating system in our minds, choosing how to adapt and respond to each and every situation.

Though we are not experts on politics or international relations, we believe we are in a particularly difficult time where seeking understanding and empathy can be profoundly challenging for all of us, especially when so many of us believe that those around us are ill-intentioned.

It begins with the practice of slowing down and taking inventory of what we notice and experience in our bodies and senses. From there we can start to analyze what is most important about our experiences and release what isn't ours to carry forward. From this awareness comes the work of consciously examining our beliefs and choosing what parts of ourselves to bring into the future.As always. thank you for listening along with us.

As we discussed in our last episode, we are all going through a lot in this day and age, and it can feel a bit like swimming in too deep of water for too long without being able to make it back to the shallows. That has led us all to feel a bit more on edge, a bit more tired and exhausted, with a little less to give and a lot more to make sense of…Finding a way to process the ever mounting and inc...2023-08-2946 minGood to TalkFacing Existential DreadIn this episode, Jeremiah and E explore existential dread. Jeremiah has increasingly noticed folks in therapy with him feeling an overarching sense that things aren't okay and the that they're only going to get worse. Not quite the same as depression, anxiety, or ennui, this uncertainty and insecurity is more in the camp of dread and despair that is focused on everything and nothing all at once. Living in this, it is more and more difficult to feel secure in our world and find meaningfulness in our lives. Simply put, there is a whole lot going on and it is s...2023-08-1549 minGood to TalkStrength and WeaknessIn this episode, Jeremiah and E discuss the ways in which our strengths and weaknesses can often be two sides of the same coin. This paradox of our gifts and curses can often be so ingrained in our behaviors that we don’t always see the ways we become stuck. Understanding our strengths will hopefully help us better see that our weaknesses often come from choosing (or defaulting) to our usual approaches , and then missing or neglecting other parts of our personalities and potential. Here, we examine the ways in which we can become enmeshed in the strengths of self...2023-08-0152 minGood to TalkSeeing Self: Body ImageIn this episode, Jeremiah and E discuss what it means to approach ourselves and others with grace and dignity, and find some reframes that empower us all as we live in our bodies, care for our bodies, and share them with others. Because it is such a complex topic, we tried to keep containment around broad ideas of body image and won’t be diving deeply into specifics on nutrition, exercise, issues with eating, differences between male and female body image issues, which are many, cultural expectations, body dysmorphia, self harm, or medical interventions and issues with aging. Instead, we c...2023-07-1853 minGood to TalkFriendship RevisitedIn this episode, Jeremiah and E revisit what healthy friendship looks like.

As Will Durant says, "We are what we repeatedly do." Success, then, is not so much an act of will, as it is a series of smaller choices. Our habits ultimately determine our longterm progress. Celebrating daily milestones, rather than destinations, understanding the cost of saying yes or no, and framing our actions as an extension of identity can all help us in forming better habits.2023-06-0653 minGood to TalkLetting Go: The Gift of GoodbyeIn this episode, Jeremiah and E discuss what it means to be conscious of our patterns and make changes as the demands on our time shift. Most of us would say that we are currently carrying something in our lives that we should probably just let go, though humans are at the same time a notoriously sentimental group who don’t do well with change. At our base level, saying goodbye and moving on is not our strong suit as a species. As always, thank you for listening along with us. If you'd like to contact us or fin...2023-05-2346 minGood to TalkSaying Sorry: The Gift of an ApologyIn this episode, Jeremiah and E explore the importance of apologies along with some strategies for better relational communication. No matter how great your relationships are or how much you love and care for your loved ones, friends and family, at some point in time, you will have conflict and need to apologize. One of the most common topics in therapy, and not just in couples counseling, is how to repair. Many of us struggle to say sorry. There is profound strength and freedom in an apology that lets the person you care about know you both care and und...2023-05-0959 minGood to TalkCultivating CuriosityIn this episode, Jeremiah and E discuss the often unexplored space in between that we too frequently pass over for productivity or purpose. Letting ourselves stop to smell the proverbial roses can actually be a profoundly important part of our mental and emotional well being. If we can create the space and mindfulness in our everyday lives to curate curiosity, we might find that wonder and joy still very much exist in our worlds. We just need to offer ourselves a little bit of space to seek it. As always, thank you for listening along with us. Please...2023-04-2538 minGood to TalkSatisfying SimplicityIn this episode, Jeremiah and E discuss the path to and value of simplifying our lives amidst all our ever-present complications and distractions. While there are profound needs that continue to exist around the globe, we also live in a time of overwhelming abundance. Not just abundance of goods and services, but a glut of access to information and entertainment. This overabundance creates a fascinating paradox for most humans, as we don’t do well with excess. Our brains and bodies are not engineered to handle such a surplus and it makes us profoundly vulnerable to advertising, marketing, and soci...2023-04-1150 minGood to TalkVirtue EthicsIn this episode, Jeremiah and E discuss how to define a good life and then what it means to make daily choices to move us in a direction of growth and health. Enter virtue ethics. Thankfully, we are not the first to contemplate what a good life looks like or how to pursue an integrated self that lives out our personal virtues with authenticity and dignity. Humans have been exploring this topic throughout recorded history. Ethics, as a philosophical category, deals with the overarching concepts of what is right, wrong, and/or neutral and how those ideas apply to hum...2023-03-2853 minGood to TalkMaking ProgressIn this episode, Jeremiah and E explore how to make progress. Feeling stuck or struggling to make progress can be a point of frustration for many of us.

Planning long-term, acting short-term, and taking radical ownership of our stories all help us grow towards our goals.2023-03-1444 minGood to TalkOpen Mindedness (2/2)In this episode, Jeremiah and E continue discussing the benefits of open-mindedness. If you haven't already, check out Episode 45, part one of this topic. In part two, we discuss some of the ways in which we can become more self aware, keep an open mind, and not stand in the way of our own rational thinking and growth. Open-mindedness offers us a freedom to be helped by the strengths and perspectives of those around us. It also frees us for greater growth, recognizing that no decision is set in stone and we always have the freedom to chan...2023-02-2844 minGood to TalkRomantic CommunicationIn this episode, we are interrupting our two part series on open mindedness to discuss Romantic Communication in honor of Valentine's Day. Though Valentine's day can feel a bit like a marketing scheme, it is also an excellent opportunity to purposely focus on gratitude and celebration of the ones we love and hold dearest. In this episode, we explore the importance of good communication strategies, intentionality, and empathy in our relationships.2023-02-1450 minGood to TalkOpen Mindedness (1/2)In this episode, Jeremiah and E discuss the difficulties and dangers of being close minded. It can be difficult to remain open minded when we derive much of our relational security from being right. Our egos tell us that being right means gaining power, having autonomy, and ultimately finding acceptance. Our sense of emotional security and even our own physiology can work against us making maintaining an open mind incredibly difficult. Here we consider some of the reasons it can be profoundly difficult to live openly. In part two, we discuss some of the ways in which we can becom...2023-01-3144 minGood to TalkCreativityJeremiah and E are kicking off Season 3 with an episode about the importance of Creativity.

The first episode of 2023 is also the final episode of Season 2. In this episode, Jeremiah and E consider what it means to name goals and keep ourselves motivated while achieving them. As we often begin, doing the work of reflection is an important first step in accomplishment. Understanding the deeper threads running through our desires will ultimately help us set appropriately tailored goals and also facilitate our ability to stay motivated. Dreaming and establishing vision will help insulate us from failures and setbacks by better focusing our efforts. Lastly, inspiration and willful commitment will ultimately carry us for...2023-01-0343 minGood to TalkLiving Generously: Happy HolidaysIn this episode, Jeremiah and E discuss the challenges of living and giving generously.

Inspiring our imaginations and broadening our perspectives, this is a lighthearted episode about appreciating cinema.2022-12-0641 minGood to TalkGuide to Gratitude: ThanksgivingIn this episode, Jeremiah and E discuss why counting our blessings works. Gratitude is desire fulfilled. It's the culmination of what we want and what now get to enjoy. Sadly, few of us actively engage our desires in this way and thus miss out on our full potential for feeling fulfilled and to be at peace. Gratitude takes awareness and practice, but it gives joy and brings peace.2022-11-2244 minGood to TalkCultivating CalmIn this episode, Jeremiah and E discuss the finding calm in the midst of chaos. The Stoic disciplines of desire, assent, and action help us focus on what is in and what is out of our control. Moderation is not punishment, but rather finding the balance and ultimate place of peace in all things.2022-11-0850 minGood to TalkMemento MoriIn this episode, Jeremiah and E discuss the stoic philosophy of "memento mori" in honor of Halloween. The latin, "memento mori" or in english, "remember that you must die," gives us pause and has us consider the fleeting nature of existence and the value of the present. The slightly less macabre extension of "memento mori" is "memento vivere" or "remember to live."2022-10-2542 minGood to TalkTechnology and BalanceIn this episode, Jeremiah and E discuss how to wield technology well, appreciating it for its uses while staying conscious of life in the analogue.

In approaching our own anger, it is important to consider it before it happens, be mindful of it while we're experiencing it, and to examine it after we've felt it as well.

The goal isn't to be perfect, but rather to continue growing and edifying ourselves as...2021-11-0645 minGood to TalkUnderstanding Anger (1/2)In this episode, Jeremiah and E discuss anger, understanding it and how to communicate through it. Healthy anger states, “I am angry because I am valuable and am not being treated as valuable.” It is connected to our sense of self. Anger can get a bit of a bad rap, but it isn't a bad emotion.

Jeremiah and E advocate for knowing self, staying in balance and trusting the process, and remaining open handed to new experiences. This episode is structured around the Delphic Maxims inscribed on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. Originally, they were said to have been given by the Greek god Apollo's Oracle at Delphi. The three maxims are: "Know Thyself" (Nosce te ipsum), "Nothing in excess" (me quid nimis), and "Surety, then ruin" (vere conturbat).2021-09-0334 minGood to TalkVocation: In Service To Others (2/3)In this episode, Jeremiah and E explore vocation through the lens of the Stoic philosophy of Summum Bonum. We consider asking ourselves a question Alan Watts posed often, "what do we desire?" or differently put, "what makes us happy?" We then add a secondary question of, "who does our desire serve, who does it help?" Considering what makes us happy and how we can positively impact others can be a simple way to figure out what we might want to do for our vocation or how we might like to spend our time.2021-08-0432 minGood to TalkVocation: Connected To Who You Are (1/3)In this episode, Jeremiah and E discuss the topic of vocation through the first of three lenses.

Most of us have preferences in the ways we give and receive intimacy. Knowing self and knowing others in your world gives you greater perspicacity in giving and receiving. It is important to remember that there are no formal areas of intimacy, and all ideas of intimacy overlap and sync up. You are a complex being capable of experiencing many levels of desire, connection, and emotion all at once. Intimacy can be experienced in many ways including, intellectually, experientially, existentially, and physically.2021-07-0239 minGood to TalkAreas of AffirmationSafe and secure (I am safe)Loved and Valuable (I am lovable)Strong and Capable (I am enough)The tricky part for our self worth or the ways we value ourselves, is this is often taught to us first by our parents and caregivers and ultimately becomes our core beliefs, which are usually formed before the age of seven. These beliefs impact all kinds of our behaviors, both conscious and unconscious, and can often be the hidden road map to where we direct our lives. “Who am I” then tends to be a question that alre...2021-06-2542 minGood to TalkFinding Meaning Through ArtJeremiah and E discuss finding meaning through art. One definition of art is the human activity of creating items and experiences that engage the thoughts, emotions, and senses and that communicates and connects with the beholder. Our hope is to offer some handholds for engaging art, and through art, a chance to better access meaning within ourselves and others. Tolstoy defined art as the following: "Art is a human activity consisting in this, that one man consciously, by means of certain external signs, hands on to others feelings he has lived through, and that other people are inf...2021-06-1839 minGood to TalkMastering MotivationJeremiah and E talk about how to stay motivated and not feel defeated before ever beginning.

Keys to remember when it comes to the Enneagram: Awareness is what leads to transformation.

Let the learning lead to freedom from self, releasing yourself from the ego’s fixation that first protected and served you, but which now can be released.The Instinctive Triad can be broken down into types 8 or the Challenger, 9 or...2021-05-2839 minGood to TalkUnderstanding the Enneagram: Thinking Center, Security and Anxiety (3/4)In this episode, Jeremiah and E discuss the Thinking Triad or Enneagram types 5, 6, and 7. Enneagram type 5 is the Thinker, type 6 the Loyalist, and type 7 the Enthusiast. The main themes of this triad are anxiety and security, always looking for inner guidance and support. The Head Center is future focused, subconsciously wondering, "What is going to happen to me?, How can I prepare?, Will I be okay?"Remember awareness leads to transformation. As you learn more about yourself, your type, and your center, the key is to let that self awareness lead to letting go, not further striving.2021-05-2536 minGood to TalkUnderstanding the Enneagram: Feeling Center, Self Image and Shame (2/4)This week Jeremiah and E focus on Enneagram types 2, 3, and 4, also known as the feelings or heart center.Awareness leads to transformation: Remember that as you learn more about yourself, your type, and your center, the key is to let that self awareness lead to letting go, not further striving.

This is part one of four. In later episodes, each of the three triads will be explored in more detail.2021-05-0754 minGood to TalkSelf Care and Identity (2/4)When you are free of outside sources defining you, you are free. You are free to be absolutely present in this moment without rejecting anything about it, remembering what has always been there. Health is in some ways a measure of our capacity to be present. The healthier we are, the more we are able to be here, grounded in our bodies, with our hearts open and our minds quiet and focused. In this state, we are more likely to be functioning more effectively in the world, more in touch with our feelings, and happier.2021-05-0353 minGood to TalkSelf Care in Action (3/4)Self care is not selfishness. We must care for ourselves to have anything to then offer to others. Giving from emptiness leads to burnout (self) and resentment (others). Giving from fullness leads to harmony (self) and empathy (others). Filling our tanks enables us to fill the tanks of others. We must put our own oxygen masks on first before helping our companions. 2021-05-0345 minGood to TalkSelf Care and Thought (4/4)Past: Depression vs Thankful | Present: Disconnected vs Grateful | Future: Anxious vs Hopeful ------ There are two mindsets that matter: active and passive. With a passive mind, things happen to you and you're not responsible for them. An active mind, on the other hand, means ownership. The difference between a passive and active mind is easy to spot. For example, if someone arrives late because of traffic, do they blame the traffic or take ownership and say they failed to account for traffic. 2021-05-0332 min
