Have you ever heard the quote "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Maybe you knew it was from poet Mary Oliver, but did you know it's from her poem called "The Summer Day?" Gosh that makes me love it even more, and I think it's the most Natural Time of the year to ask ourselves that question. This episode is a replay of our 2025 Summer S...

Since we're fraternal twins, we could never fool anyone in person. But over the p...

They love their children. They love their partners. They care deeply about their work, their communities, and the lives they’ve built. The problem usually isn’t that their priorities are completely wrong. The...

We can get so caught up in cycles of doubt, insecurity, overthinking, overanalyzing, analysis paralysis, second guessing, getting stuck, procrastinating, and all of these obstacles in our decision-making. And beginning to use a pendulum to ask anything—from the most simple and basic low-risk type of question, to making some of the biggest decisions of my life—has really freed me from all of those...

In the Taoist 5 Element System, the element of the Spring Season is called Nature (sometimes called Wood.) Our Nature is really about our gifts.

In this episode, I share a disturbing dream that marked a turning point in my relationship with Attention, social media, and the systems we participate in. It's an exploration of the Magician archetype, the nature of illusion, and the subtle ways our Attention can be shaped, captured, and carried without us realizing it. This is a conversation about enchantment, awareness, and what it means to...

I didn’t decide all at once to change my relationship with social media. It happened slowly. In this episode, I’m sharing the story of how things started to feel different for me—how something that once felt connective and alive began to feel extractive, overwhelming, and out of alignment. I talk about the moment where something really clicked, the questions that changed everything, and how I bega...

If the Earth were a Person, how would you describe what they are like, and how would you describe your relationship with them? I was brought up in a religion that taught me that  nature is something separate from us and subservient to us. It’s alive in a sense, but  definitely not conscious . I was taught that it’s  impersonal , and it  definitely didn’t have a soul or spirit . It’s beautiful, sur...

I saw Michelle’s profile on LinkedIn one day and literally just felt drawn to connect with her. I messaged her promising I wasn’t selling anything, just that I thought it was so cool she is an intuitive therapist from Massachusetts (where I'm from too!) and that we have a lot in common. Then I pretty quickly after that saw that she was starting her own podcast and was looking for guests and I...

Today is April Fool's Day, and instead of talking about pranks or jokes, we're exploring the deeper archetypal meaning of the Fool. In this episode, I'm weaving together the archetype of Fool from the Tarot, the Maiden from feminine archetypal work, and the lived experience of Spring as a Season of not knowing, beginning, and becoming. Because what if the part of you that doesn't h...

I've been thinking a lot about how quickly we're taught to leave something the moment it feels off. Burn it down. Pivot. Start over. In the Celtic Lunar Tree Calendar, we're in the Connection Full Moon this Wednesday, April 1.  It's about how alignment doesn't always come from making a big move. Sometimes it comes from staying long enough to understand what's actually out o...
