Bigger Love with Scott Stabile

If you’d like to listen to me read the following essay, click on the audio above. Hi Friends, I’ve shared a version of this essay the past couple of years and want to send it out again, as I know this time of year can be especially challenging for many of us. Even beyond holiday season, I’ve found it incredibly helpful to remember that we can’t know what the future holds because we have yet to exp...

Hi Friends, I shared the following story a couple years ago and thought of it today as I was nudging myself to remember just how beautiful people can be. It’s from Dr. Wayne Dyer’s book, The Power of Intention . Click the audio above if you’d rather hear me read it. I encourage you to let yourself feel the compassion and love in this story. Yes, there are too many examples of humans treating other...

Hi Friends, If you’re stirring with anxiety over the election, as I know many of us are, I feel you, and I’ve got you. Click on the 4-minute recording and try this breath. And then continue to do it throughout the day (and anytime) as you feel yourself losing your s**t. It’s my favorite breath and perhaps the most effective at helping me feel more grounded in my body. If you have other grounding b...

INWARD begins in just ten days, and no matter what happens on Election Day, I’ve no doubt we will all benefit from gathering with other open-hearted humans and learning more about ourselves and each other through journal writing and connection. October’s event was extremely powerful and this one will be too. My publisher, New World Library, is hosting an online Book Club / Author Event with me on...

Join me for INWARD , a journaling workshop, beginning on Nov. 11th. Detroiters : Join me in Wyandotte tomorrow (10/25) for Live Breathwork at 7pm . Hi Friends, Isn’t election season fun? Not so much. It is however, among other things, a reminder of how hypocritical we all can be, and of how a willingness to acknowledge our own hypocrisies and choose to show compassion for one another can set us on...

Hi Friends, I moved into a new home last week, and it just so happens to be infested with fleas. So that’s been a not particularly fun but particularly enlightening (in ways I talk about in the video) ride. Bottom line: the whole point (for me) of continuously reconnecting to the ever-present sense of peace within us is to be able to access it when life throws us curveballs. Or fleas. How did this...

Hi Friends, I recorded the above video last night and chose to sleep on whether or not to share it with you all. Obviously I decided to share it.

Hi Friends, This video is about communication, about being brave enough to show up (even initiate) the conversations we know we need to have, the ones we’ve been putting off, dreading, making all kinds of excuses to avoid. As I wrote in Enough as You Are … Quit putting off the conversations you know you need to have. Say what you need to say, with as much honesty, clarity, and love as possible. An...

Hi Friends, I got back a couple weeks ago from two weeks at an Ayahuasca retreat center, during which the concept of integration was talked about and encouraged a lot. In this video, I speak about the importance of integrating those things — books, podcasts, teachers, ceremonies, etc. — that have awakened us to new perspectives or ways of being. A life-changing book will only create real change in...

Hi Friends, I’m off to Costa Rica for two weeks tomorrow and felt the nudge to pull a card for us today. It’s from the Sacred Earth Oracle deck. As always, please share how this reading landed for you, as well as any other insights you gleaned from the reading. The card: The deck: I know that when I’m only seeing one perspective — particularly if that perspective is creating suffering within me —...

If you’d prefer to listen to today’s essay, click on the recording above. Hi Friends, The following is from the archives. I originally shared it two years ago and am feeling it very much today. May it offer you some peace and perspective. Maybe, like me often these days, you find yourself looking at our world in flames and asking some version of what’s the point of anything anymore? My mind loves...

Hi Friends, I felt the call to pull an oracle card to send us into the weekend. Today’s card is coming from the Sacred Earth Oracle deck, and I appreciated this reading a lot. It felt like a firm but gentle nudge to act in alignment with our needs and desires. The card: Motion The deck: Sacred Earth Oracle As always, I’d love to know how this card landed for you. What resonated? What didn’t? How m...

Hi Friends, Substack is doing some cool things. They have AI-generated transcription, so when you post a video, the platform transcribes it if you want it to. For those of you not into watching videos, you can now read what I say in the videos I post. The writing isn’t as refined, but it does sound like my speaking voice, because it is. I cleaned it up a little bit, because I say Right? way too of...
