All Episodes →Safety
From anxious text messages and people-pleasing to conflict avoidance and self-criticism, we unpack how many of us mistake the familiar for the safe—and how that keeps us stuck.
Rules
Wander with us through speeding in Boston, jaywalking, airplane seat swaps, recycling myths, corporate theft, public transit etiquette, and the spiritual practice of becoming a little more unruly.
Disappointment
Disappointment isn’t the problem. Avoiding it is.
Wonder
What if the unknown wasn’t something to fear—but something to meet with curiosity?
Courage
The story suggests that courage feels powerful, but we bust that myth in this conversation.
Demons
A deep dive into KPop Demon Hunters—the absurd, hilarious, surprisingly moving movie that gave us demon boy bands, soul-sucking pop anthems, six-eyed magpies in tiny hats, and one of our favorite metaphors in a long time.
Freedom
We unpack the illusion of control and why confidence is built after you move; not before.
Perspective
In this episode, we explore perspective, the invisible spectacles you’re wearing every moment of your life.
Doubt
Doubt isn’t evidence that something is wrong with you; it’s often a sign that you’re standing at the edge of growth, exposure, and transformation.
