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!

We’re living through a “phase transition,” but I believe it’s what our souls signed up for. In this “Listen Again” episode of The Gathering Room Podcast, I explore why the chaos of our times isn’t a sign of collapse, but of metamorphosis. Using the metaphor of ice to water to steam, I talk about how relaxation is the key to navigating radical change. I’ll also guide you in meditation—and share why your wackiest fascination may be your best compass right now. Join me, and let’s learn to fly.

Listen Again: The Unknown World

I’ve discovered a new favorite psychologist, Dr. Marisa Franco, and in this Gathering Room, I’m talking about her book Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment. We’ll get into how self-esteem differs from self-worth, why praise can backfire, how sitting with our wounded feelings helps build self-worth, and why the Tao Te Ching says success can be as dangerous as failure. I’ll also guide you in meditation and answer listener questions about parenting, shame, and money. Join me!

The Way to Self-Worth

Did you know you were born a creative genius? All of us are, but we’ve been socialized out of it by the structures of culture. Why? Because the culture wants everyone the same, and genius doesn’t homogenize well. However, I believe our genius never stops calling us, and in this favorite “Listen Again” episode of The Gathering Room, I share how you can recognize—and follow—its call. Join me!
