Welcome to another episode of The Gathering Room! This week I’m broadcasting from a co-working space, thanks to ongoing house repairs at our new home. But my less-than-ship-shape house is possibly the perfect metaphor for the topic we’re diving into today: the idea that “progress” might not always look or feel like we (or others) expect it to. In fact, progress is making us, not the other way around. If you suffer from the idea that you aren't making enough progress, you won't want to miss this one!

You Have My Permission

Ever played Minecraft? My five-year-old pulled me into it, and I started seeing it as a metaphor for how we move through real life. 

On this Gathering Room, I share stories from my journey through decades of Survival mode, my awakening into Creative mode, and what it feels like now to live mostly in Adventure mode, guided by something wiser than my everyday mind. 

If you’ve ever felt stuck in Survival mode or longed for more magic, guidance, and meaning in your life, this episode is for you. Join me!

Level Up from Survival Mode

On this episode of The Gathering Room, I explore the tendency to assign difficult or unsavory tasks to “Tomorrow Me,” thinking I’ll magically want to do them in the future. Tune in to hear personal stories, practical tips to plan things out of joy instead of obligation, and why it’s kinder and wiser to honor what your “Today Self” genuinely wants and needs. If you’re ready to break the cycle of overcommitting your future self and find more happiness in the present, this episode is for you. Join me!
