We live in a world where more and more of our lives can be measured — our steps, sleep, heart rate, stress, calories, productivity and even how consistently we meditate.

But when does information help us know ourselves, and when does it begin to teach us to stop listening to ourselves?

In this episode, we explore our relationship with the numbers we collect. Can data help us understand ourselves without becoming an authority over us? Can we appreciate what technology offers while still trusting what our own body is telling us? And when did wellbeing become another thing we have to be good at?

THE TAROT — Judgement

The Judgement card invites us to consider what we're ready to leave behind as we move forward.

What old ideas about how we should measure ourselves no longer belong? What happens when we stop outsourcing our authority and bring greater autonomy, context and discernment into our relationship with the information available to us?

The deeper question may be: What am I ready to leave behind so I can move forward with greater trust in myself?

Episode 68 — Are We Measuring Ourselves to Death?

When did having nothing to do become something we need to fix? With a phone within reach and endless ways to keep ourselves occupied, those little gaps in our day can disappear before we even notice them.

In this episode, Keryn and Vicki share childhood memories, confess their own distraction habits and explore what happens when we resist the urge to fill every moment. From reaching for a snack to scrolling through the ads, they ask what we might discover if we stay with that restless feeling a little longer.

Could boredom be offering room for creativity, a chance to notice what we’re feeling, or space to choose what comes next? Join us for an honest, lively conversation about attention, discomfort and leaving a little room for life to surprise us.

🃏 THE TAROT — Eight of Wands

The Eight of Wands brings a message of creative freedom and forward movement. Drawn to the space between the sailing ship and the dolphins in the card’s image, Vicki connects that gap with the essence of boredom: an invitation to allow inspiration to emerge without rushing to fill the silence.

✨ JOIN THE CONVERSATION

Episode 70 — Have We Forgotten How to Be Bored?

We all have hopes — for a relationship, an opportunity, a long-awaited win or even that first cup of coffee. Sometimes we don’t realise how much we’ve invested in something until life unfolds differently.

But what happens next? Do we let ourselves feel disappointed, or quickly tell ourselves it doesn’t matter, look on the bright side and move on?

In this episode, we explore the distance between the future we imagined and the reality we experience. We talk about the physical feeling of disappointment, the embarrassment of letting others see how much we cared, and the pressure to find something positive before we’ve had time to acknowledge what hurts.

What might disappointment reveal about what matters to us? Can we keep hoping without tying our worth to an outcome? And can we be deeply disappointed and still know that we’re okay?

THE TAROT — Ten of Wands

The Ten of Wands invites us to consider the weight we carry when life hasn’t met our hopes.

Alongside disappointment, are we carrying expectations, self-judgement or the pressure to hold everything together? What could we set down, and where could we allow ourselves to receive support?

The deeper question may be: What am I carrying that I no longer need to carry?

Episode 69 - How Do We Live With Disappointment?

We live in a world that so often encourages us towards more — more healing, more learning, more growth, more success, more improvement. But when is enough … enough?

In this episode, we explore what happens when we stop seeing enough as a finish line. Can we be grateful for what we have and still desire more? Can we recognise that we've done enough for today without deciding we're finished? And can growth come from curiosity rather than from believing there's something about us that needs fixing?

Perhaps enough and more aren't opposites.

Perhaps enough says, nothing is missing from this moment for this moment to be whole.

And more simply says, I'm still curious about what else there is to experience.

THE TAROT — Four of Pentacles

The Four of Pentacles asks us to notice what we may be holding onto too tightly. When does structure become restriction? When does protecting what we have prevent us from sharing it — or experiencing what else might be possible?

Perhaps the deeper question is: If I loosen my grip, can I trust that I'll still be okay?
