The Morning Share

When was the first time you came home and realized you weren't the same person who left? And who noticed first, you or them? November is about coming home, not to a place, but to yourself. Deanna and Ang open the month at the front door with the two greetings every host knows: "It's nice to meet you," for the parts of yourself you're discovering for the first time, and "...

If you don't know who you are, how do you know which way to go? The October series ends with the practical episode we promised: how to actually move through change.

West, Welcome change. Along the way: what t...

What makes letting go so hard, and what do we grow when we finally open our hands?

Then our friend Sara Amos, LCSW, owner of Sparrow Creek Counseling in Nashville, explains what grief does...

EPISODE DESCRIPTION Why do we resist change—even when we know something needs to shift? In this episode, Angela and Deanna explore the “guardian” within us: the protective part that keeps us attached to what is familiar. From active pushback to quiet avoidance, they unpack the different ways resistance shows up, the hidden commitments beneath it, and how to meet change with curiosity instead of sh...

What season of life are you in—and what might it be trying to reveal? In the first episode of our series on transitions, D and Ang explore the rhythms of change: beginnings, endings, grief, growth, discomfort, and the in-between places that are often difficult to name. From autumn leaves and wide-open North Dakota horizons to Carl Jung’s “two halves of life” and Richard Rohr’s image of the “contai...

Is the dream something out there, or could it be the embodied next step of the life you're already living?

What does it actually look like to claim your whole story—not just the parts that are easy to understand or explain?

What if becoming isn’t about creating a better version of yourself, but learning to belong to every part of the person who is already there?

Through the image of a stained glass window, they wonder what b...

How do we leave ourselves without ever going anywhere?

With honesty, humor, and plenty of questions, they invite us toward a gentler first step: noti...

What if the most honest yes you can give sometimes sounds like no?
