A Wild New Work

When we forget how to cultivate our inner heat and light, we fall victim to the lifelessness of modern work and Western culture. Come learn how you can align with the spirit of Winter and come more fully into life. To sign up for my weekly email news...

As we cross into the mid-Autumn period, we enter the heart of nature’s death cycle. If we’re willing to be wise, we can use this time to look at and tend to what has died or is ready to die: lifeless jobs, projects, ways of relating, or beliefs about what’s possible for us. And what about when we’re on the other side of a death, what then? In this episode, I share what the vulture can show us abou...

In this special episode, I’m sharing a piece of writing that I published on my blog on the Autumn Equinox.

To read this piece on my blog, visit: https:/...

Being in relationship, mentorship, and collaboration with others is essential to living a full and bright life, but there are times when we need to reconnect with the inner wisdom that flows through us first, letting go of the inputs from other people.

Many of us carry around a belief that if we follow our soul’s purpose and do the work we’re meant to do in this world, we’ll have to suffer financially. We can be so bought into this idea that every idea we have about what else we could do is immediately discounted because we can’t see how we could “make a living from it.” In this episode, I share: * What the rest of the natural world can show us...

Crabs offer us one of the most profound models for transformation that I’ve come across in nature. As the Sun hangs in the sign of the crab, Cancer, I’m exploring what this creature can teach us about how to become so filled up that our old shells can’t help but break open.

In this short bonus episode, I’ll share my view on purpose and how it’s related to our day to day work as well as some updated information about my new class, “Living into Purpose: Stop the drudgery and start doing your truest work.” To learn mor...

One of the fastest ways to access new insights and empowerment in our working lives is to change the language that we use about them. We unconsciously get into loops that say “this is how it is and always will be,” but the reality is far more nuanced and colorful. By choosing different words, we open up to new possibilities for ourselves and our communities. To learn more about my class, Living in...

If you’ve been trying to make changes in your life for a while but are feeling worn out or hopeless, this episode is for you. Disruption, shame, guilt, manipulation: most of us were taught that these are the best ways to get ourselves to change. But the rest of the natural world shows us a different way to get to where we want to go - a path that includes organic shifts over time, self-care, and c...

It’s really easy to get sucked into the “little w” work of modern life. Our jobs, businesses, and volunteer engagements can become so demanding that we disconnect from the “big W” Work of becoming people who are resilient in the face of climate change and collapse. In this episode, you’ll learn a new way of thinking about your day to day work and the larger callings of your life as well as ways yo...

The modern workplace is rife with harmful examples of power because it’s an outgrowth of capitalism, an economic system that requires humans to dominate, manage, and extract all of the resources around them (including other humans). Within this context, it’s common for people who work to feel disempowered. In healthy ecosystems, we see how fluid and life-giving power can be. Consider the power of...

What if Life - or the divine - cares deeply about what you do for work, how it makes you feel, and the impact that it has on others?

What’s it like for you to receive? Whether it’s receiving appreciation, money, recognition, or support, most of us are uncomfortable filling our cups in this way. It’s much more comfortable for most of us to be the one giving, the one being needed, but that’s not always sustainable. Tapping into the watery magic of Winter and seed germination, this episode covers: * Why it’s hard for many of us to...

Is your working life stable in the ways that you deeply need it to be? We’re told that professional stability is just collecting a steady paycheck and having a resume that makes sense, but those concepts aren’t proving to be what we need in these chaotic times. In this episode, I share: * Why our old notions of stability need an upgrade * 3 sources of stability that have stood the test of time and...
