Lucid Living

In this episode, we start with a few life updates, then dive into Communication. What's the point of language? Why do we communicate? I think that's a question we've stopped asking. It's easy to get stuck talking and communicating the way we've always done, but I think it's important to go back to our roots. Why did we create language in the first place? To get 2+ people on the same page. I think...

We got Becky Larkin back on the podddd! Today we dive into our relationships with growth and the journey of the ups and downs, highs and lows, peaks and valleys. The journey of growth is a beautiful one. After listening to this episode, we recommend taking a moment to sit down and journal and reflect on your relationship with growth in the past. On moments when the highs felt amazing then the lows...

This episode is inspired by the pursuit to stick with our New Year Resolutions. A mindset shift to focus on building structures and finding consistency in growth and pursuit of these resolutions, over the intensity, volume and output of them.  There is a great podcast episode of world class personal trainer, Don Saladino, sharing his process with working with clients who want to reach new goa...

Mastering the mind.......is it possible? What does that look like? How do we start pursuing this mastery? In this episode, I share some practices and some connections I've made that have excited me to go after this pursuit. Is it possible? Maybe. Certainly not overnight. But with intention, practice, and a growth mindset, I really do believe we can do anything. And in this episode you will see tha...

First episode of 2023 baby!! What do we want our year to look like?  I have some ideas to keep this train moving for this podcast, but again, it's mostly going to be fueled by sparks of inspiration that lead me to want to share about it. I'm excited to keep using this medium to share a bit about myself and about the things I'm passionate about.  I also get a little personal and share a b...

This episode, is centered around reflecting and dreaming. Get in a cozy space, grab your journal with your favorite pen, and journal along with this episode. We start with reflecting on 2023. Pause the audio, and start writing. Let it rip! Next, it's time to dream. What does the best year of your life look like? Let it rip! Don't hold back. Allow yourself permission to DREAM. Then get specific wit...

This is a very spiritual episode because I had a very spiritual experience watching Avatar: The Way of Water I'd love to hear if this connects with you One love.

I had a plan to talk about Communication for this episode, but during the meditation I decided to take a different route. Jonah Hill dropped a pretty awesome documentary on Netflix called "Stutz", where he interviews his therapist. I think it's an important piece of work and to open up and normalize therapy and also give viewers active tools to practice in their everyday life.  One love.

With the New Year rapidly approaching, I think it's important to take some time to reflect.  Who am I? How do others perceive me? And who do I want to be? We are entering the season of resolution, where we strive to become the new, best version of ourselves. What does that look like? Once we get nitty gritty with it, we can start living with integrity. And once you get a taste, you'll never w...

Life update: -Table read for Laramie Project -Finishing "The Ride of a Lifetime"/reflection -Upcoming Premiere for NYU Grad Program short -Interesting discovery with "WHOOP" -The power of community For the rest of this episode, I share a story. A moment in time I experienced. I went down a rabbit hole yesterday reflecting on life. The meaning of it all. Consumerism. Happiness. Why are we here. All...

In todays episode, I want to introduce a clip of Dr. Joe Dispenza, author of "Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself" sharing about just that. He's a true pioneer and I've learned so much from him and I've listened to this clip dozens of times. It never gets old.  Here's a link to the YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpOMk1jOzgk One love.

Another gem from James Redfields, "Celestine Prophecy" I still believe we are in a transition...an age of transformation. It's easy to get lost along that journey, but this episode dives into the importance of focusing on the right questions versus the answers.  One love. 

I think we just hit episode 50 baby!!! Time is surely flying. I was inspired to talk about this topic when I watched "Wednesday", the awesome new show on Netflix starring Jenna Ortega. I started watching the day it was released and it was a lot of fun. The following days, I saw all the buzz on socials. And there was one scene in particular that was being shared a lot. And it was one of my favorite...

I believe that we are in a season of change...of transformation. I dive deeper into the idea of change in one of my earlier episodes. For this episode, I want to share something I'm looking to change. I want to hold myself accountable. I talk about the narratives that I have that make this change so challenging. Fighting to live in alignment isn't easy. Fighting to be the best version of ourselves...

Growing up, and even still today, I feel like the idea of being "smart" is very black or white. You either are...or you are not smart. And I just don't think it's that simple.  I feel there was a danger with labeling someone as smart in the education setting, which is a specific kind of smart. While you may not be "book smart", there are other areas where you may find passion and become incre...

When we talk about "doing the work", a lot of that is referring to "shadow work".  Our personality is really all the personality traits we express to the public, but do we show everyone everything? Usually not. That's the "shadow self".  The shadow self is a beast that we wouldn't dare show others, and honestly, not even show ourselves. Doing the work is shining a light on that shadow an...

Being a bystander kinda sucks, right? This idea popped into my awareness when at the gym, watching some individuals pushing heavy weights with little focus on form. Do I intervene? Or let them continue? I get this same feeling when at the grocery store seeing people with full grocery carts of processed foods.  Or also when I'm around someone who is self depracating and putting themselves down...

Wisdom from one of my absolute FAVORITE books, "The Celestine Prophecy" by James Redfield. Stay tuned for more quotes from this book, but for this episode we dive into power dynamics. Seeing them play out in conversations around us and the ones we have ourselves with others. In diving into this, I found myself coming back to compassion and understanding how these dynamics are really passed down ge...

This topic inherently creates division just thinking about it. I want to create a space where I share my views and my experiences with my relationship with religion. I'm sure it's going to change over the years as I get more life under my belt. I want to move throughout this world with an open mind and not judge someone for their beliefs, but get curious and create space as to understand why someo...

I am endlessly fascinated by people. Who they are, why they do what they do and being curious about what their truth actually is. It's so so so easy to judge someone on an action, because, well, people are genuinely defined by their actions. But there is ALWAYS a reason behind it, that if we hold space to try to understand, can start a beautiful healing process.  One love.

"The Art of Non-Action" or the art of "Nonforcing" or "Noncontrivance" In this episode, I share a little bit from Charles Eisensteins books, "A More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible" about the concept of Wu Wei. I look at this as taking the "path of least resistance, or similar to the "Surrender Experiment" by Michael A. Singer One love.

In this episode, we've got the lovely BECKY LARKIN making her return! We get deep into ideas revolving masculinity. Why there are a lot of boys in mens bodies and how that can hurt them and those around them.  It's a tricky battle and I it's not easy to see a man projecting "toxic masculinity" and respond with love, but that's what we need. Many of these "men" are in pain, suffering. Hurt peo...

Ever catch yourself saying "I don't know" when in fact you really do know? Or say "I'm sorry" when you really have nothing to be sorry for? In this episode, I give a little life update on how things are going with ASL and upcoming work and fun festivities over the next few days. Then I share my experiences with saying "I don't know" to bail myself out of controversy or because I felt I didn't have...

In this episode, I share the importance of finding community and having that sense of belonging, but I also share my personal stories as to how finding community has lifted my soul and spirit. It's a different kind of medicine.  If you feel stuck, or lost, or alone, drive around your town and check out all the shops. Small business owners are my favorite people to connect with because if you...

As attention spans are seemingly decreasing over time, I believe one of the greatest gifts we can give another person is our full, undivided presence. Seeing, listening and fully being with them is a currency of it's own.  In this episode, I share that I am embarking on a journey to learn ASL (American Sign Language). One of the things that drew me to it, is that you must be truly present to...
