Episodes

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.

Control

Let’s dismantle one of our most seductive illusions: that we’re in control, and that that’s what makes us safe.

Love

What if love isn’t a feeling, but a verb—a set of actions, choices, and ways of being?

Curiosity

In this episode we explore curiosity as a way of being, as a practice that softens defensiveness, loosens certainty, and reopens the doors your nervous system has been calling “walls.”

Perfectionism

In this episode, we pull apart “perfection” from multiple angles: the rigid, human version that freezes us in place, and the spacious, spiritual sense that everything is already perfect as it is.

Incentives

In this episode, we look under the hood of incentives: the seen and unseen forces that quietly steer our choices.

Expectations

In this episode, we unpack the slippery power of expectations—how they can motivate, manipulate, cheer or demotivate.

Discomfort

What if discomfort isn’t something to avoid—but an invitation into expansion, aliveness, and self-trust?

Communication

In this episode, Rosa and Aaron unpack why most “communication” isn’t— yet.

Full contact living

If you’re ready for friendships (and a life) that can hold truth, tenderness, and growth—this one’s for you.

Feeling(s)

For all that we live in a world that pretends we’re rational beings doing rational things, feelings drive everything in our lives, or block everything. Developing the skill of feeling our feelings, allowing them to move, expressing them healthily determines the quality of our relationships, our creative output, our work product, and so much more.

Vulnerability

This episode explores vulnerability as the core to full contact living, how avoiding vulnerability is a way of trying to be in control and stay safe. But what is safety? Protecting ourselves from life means protecting ourselves from living.

Authenticity

People are craving authenticity more and more—both expressing it and being around others who are embodying it. We explore our own challenges to being authentically self-expressed and our experiences getting in touch with it.

How to appreciate your life

What does it mean to live fully? We explore the value of boredom, getting to know our neighborhoods, and the mind-bending idea that we are one with all existence.

Be kind not nice

In this episode, we explore what it really means to be kind, the cost of being nice, what it means to be real, and what’s the deal with so much fakeness these days?

Creative process

All humans are creative and have creative processes. We explore our own creative processes, barriers and facilitators to creativity.

What is your life for?

We explore the concept of work life balance, the definition of success, and the foundational question of what is your life for?

Is it the end?

We explore endings, beginnings, their cocreative nature, and how we relate to them. Why is it easier to feel the pain of loss than the delight of gain?

Unsustainable

Unsustainable is just another way of saying “losing strategy”. We explore layers of unsustainability in modern life and expansive reframes for optimism.

Truth

This episode explores the idea of truth, whether objective truth exists, and how to relate to uncertainty. We cover ground from spirituality to politics.

Us vs. them

Can we overcome our social programming to become wise? How do we engage with difference while respecting each others’ humanity?

Trained incompetence

What is the point of your life? How our trained incompetence serves a way of life that’s not serving us.
